Social science is not an exact science.
social science = 社会科学
exact science = 真•科学
什么叫真科学?
真科学不单讲数据,而且是可重复的。
第四个:proper。
Please put things back to their proper places.
东西用完请归位。
proper也有合适的意思。
You can't go skydiving without proper gears.
skydiving = 跳伞
proper gears = 合适的装备
也有一些特别的表述,比如:
I didn't have time for a proper meal.
a proper meal不是“合适的饭”,而是舒适地坐下,能好好吃的一顿饭。
