9 .I was a good worker, but I also made mistakes—everyone does.

并且他一直这么认为。
16 .But actually, after that week, she turned out to be a good research assistant, probably better than me.
但实际上，在那周之后，她证明自己是个出色的科研助手，甚至可能比我还要出色。
17 .She made some other, small mistakes—like I said, everyone does.
她还犯了一些其他的小错误——就像我之前说的，每个人都会犯这样的小错误的。
18 .But our boss thought of her as unreliable…'cause he only noticed her mistakes.
但我们的老板认为她不可靠……因为他只注意到她的错误。
