幾十年的舊習、迷信和規矩最近又開始風行，人們盲目地跟風而不去質疑這樣做的理論依據。

Parents sometimes force their children to select a career they don’t want because other children have selected that career.

父母們有時會強迫孩子選擇孩子不喜歡的專業就因為其他孩子選擇了那個專業。

Girls are made to follow some rituals in their family which makes no sense to them at all. Worst of all, people follow them without even asking.

女孩們在家里要守一些對她們來說無任何意義的規矩。最糟糕的是，人們連問都不問，就這樣做。

There is no harm in old rituals and beliefs but when you pursue them before your interest, sooner or later you’ll realize that you should first do what you think is right.

老規矩和舊習俗并無什么害處，但當你在感興趣之前就去做時，不久你就會意識到你應該先做自己認為是正確的事情。
