Now, I'm far from perfect in that I only go after "pure" goals, because I get sucked into greed over and over again, and sometimes that's exactly the nudge I need to stay on track.(現在我還遠遠沒有達到只追求純粹的目標的境界，因為我一再地被貪婪所羈絆。有時那正是我確保不偏離正軌的動力。)

Sometimes it was dark and sometimes light, and now they were very cold and again too warm.(有時天很黑，有時又很亮，現在他們又冷又熱。)

Successful cockatoo families must be able to accommodate a little screaming every now and again; a little nipping, sometimes; and occasional demolition of human possessions.(成功的鸚鵡家庭必須能夠容納它時常一點的尖叫，小咬，有時，偶爾破壞人類的財產。)
