Do the Math 盘算一下



Should I quit my job?
Do the math. Can you afford to quit your job?
Not if I want to feed myself.
Then you should not quit your job.

我应该辞去我的工作吗？
盘算一下，如果你辞了职，你能承担吗？
如果我要养活我自己的话是不太可能的。
既然如此你就不应该辞职了。


解说：

每次你要做一个决定之前, 是否常要问别人的意见? 你自己有没有先"盘算一下"呢? 这种分析判断的行为, 就好比在做算术一样, 所以叫 do the math. 如果有人问你: "我是不是应该辞掉工作?" Should I quit my job? 这下你就可以对他说 do the math. 请他自己好好分析一下 .....
