But Too Many Times

No muss. No fuss. But too many times in my life I have taken the easy way.

不麻烦。不忙乱，但是在我的生活中我也选择了更简单的方法。

Sometimes, if you defer twice in a row, the other person will give up. But it's not good to defer too many times on a single request, as it makes you look bad.

有的时候如果你连着拖延了两回，那个人就会放弃了，当然老是拖延一件事也不好，这会让别人觉得你人品有问题。

And many places have plenty of water, or even far too much, at some times of year, but not nearly enough at others.

还有很多地方在一年中的一段时节内，水量非常充沛，甚至远超出了适当的需求，而在其他一些时候，水资源却出现了不足。
