這還蠻有趣的

One U.S. Congressman learned the lesson of self-reliance the hard way while he was in college. He studied hard for his first test, and he wanted to do his best. As he took the test, he was pleased to find that he knew the answer to every question. Confident that he would get an A, he was shocked to find a C at the top of his exam. The professor had written this note on the test in big red letters: "l know what l said. What do you think?" Learning self-reliance is not an easy lesson. But in America, it's a major part of the curriculum.
有一位美國國會議員，在他唸大學時，以慘痛的代價學到了獨立自主的功課。當時他下了苦功準備他的第一門考試，想要有最好的表現。考試時，他很高興地發現自己知道每一道考題的答案。他很有信心自己可以拿到A，結果卻很震驚地發現自己只拿了C的成績。教授在考卷上用紅筆寫了大大幾個字：「我知道我上課講的東西，但你的想法是什麼呢？」學會獨立自主不是一件容易的事，不過，在美國，它可是一門重要的功課呢！

下面這段話，我很喜歡。
The covered wagon rolls along the muddy path. The gentle motion of the
wagon almost puts you to sleep. Then the wagon hits a bump in the road, and you're brought back to reality. It seems like years since you left your familiar neighborhood
back East. You often worry that your family won't have enough to live on out West. But deep down you know that you have all you need. Along with all your supplies, you've got the most important quality of all: self-reliance.
遮著頂篷的馬車碾過泥濘的小路，它輕緩的移動幾乎要把你催入夢鄉。忽然馬車碰到了路上隆起的土塊，你又被帶回了現實世界。自從你離開東部熟悉的故里，好像已經過了很多年了。你經常擔心住在西部家人的生活會有困難，但在你內心深處，你卻明白自己已擁有了所需要的一切。在你所擁有的一切當中，你已經得到了那最重要的一項特質：獨立自主。

寫得很美也很好。
