ourselves简单

Most of us strive for self-respect — to see ourselves in a positive light, to be [proud] of who we are.

我们大多数人都在努力追求自尊——以积极的眼光看待自己，为自己是怎样的人而感到骄傲。

Failure can also teach us things about ourselves that we would never have learned otherwise.

失败还能让我们了解到关于自己的、以其他方式永远无法了解的东西。

Of course, many discussions are not so successful. Still, we need to be careful not to accuse opponents of bad arguments too quickly. We need to learn how to evaluate them properly. A large part of evaluation is calling out bad arguments, but we also need to admit good arguments by opponents and to apply the same critical standards to ourselves. Humility requires you to recognize weaknesses in your own arguments and sometimes also to accept reasons on the opposite side.

当然，许多讨论并没有这么成功。尽管如此，我们仍需注意不要过快地指责对手的论证糟糕。我们需要学会如何恰当地评价论证。评价的很大一部分是指出糟糕的论证，但我们也需要承认对手的好论证，并用同样的批判标准要求自己。谦逊要求你认识到自己论证中的弱点，有时还要接受对立一方的理由。

Perhaps that is why we explore the starry skies, as if answering a primal calling to know ourselves and our true ancestral homes.

也许这就是我们探索星空的原因，仿佛是在回应一种认识我们自己和我们真正祖先家园的原始召唤。

“We’ve disconnected ourselves from living with fire,” Balch says.

“我们已经切断了自己与火共存的联系，”鲍尔奇说。

Mental health is the seed that contains self-esteem — confidence in ourselves and an ability to trust in our common sense.

心理健康是孕育自尊的种子——自尊即对自己的信心以及信赖自己常识的能力。
