1. I have decided, too, to keep saying hello in people's yards. It doesn't do any harm, and it still feels right.
    我还决定继续在人家的院子里向人们说“你好”。这不会有什么坏处，而且感觉依旧好。

2. In a democracy we don't usually pass laws against something before there is actual or probable evidence of harm.
    在民主社会里，除非有证据证明某件事确实或可能产生危害，否则我们通常不会立法禁止它。
