Lindsay: 我认为作弊是不对的,而且我也不擅长作弊,很容易被别人发现。即使在玩游戏时,我也更看重公平竞争的乐趣,而不是一定要赢。我意识到不同的家庭对于作弊的看法可能不同,有些人认为只要不被发现就可以作弊,但我已经说服我的家人不要这样做,因为作弊会破坏游戏的乐趣。 Aubrey: 我从小接受的教育就是不能作弊,这对我来说非常重要。我宁愿输掉比赛,也不愿意通过作弊来获得胜利。我认为作弊会让人感到不光彩,因为那不是你应得的。在商业谈判中,如果对方拥有所有的优势(hold all the aces),那么谈判就会变得非常困难。但是,即使在不利的情况下,我们也可以通过一些隐藏的优势(ace in the hole)来扭转局面。
