    【譯文】首先因?yàn)槌蔀閱?wèn)題使人具有某種個(gè)性,這正是年輕人孜孜以求的事情之一。
    【講解】that指being a problem gives you a certain identity。for one thing意為“首先,一則,舉個(gè)例說(shuō)(表示作為其中一點(diǎn)理由)”,例如:
    【原文】how do you manage it all? careful scheduling, for one thing.
    【譯文】你是怎樣處理這一切的呢?首先是細(xì)致地排出時(shí)間表。
    【原文】i can’t go. for one thing, i have no time.
    【譯文】我不能去。理由之一是我沒(méi)時(shí)間。
    另請(qǐng)注意:for one thing 常與for another(thing)連用,表示“首先,再者”,例如:
    【原文】i can’t go—for one thing, i have no money, and for another, i have too much work.
    【譯文】我不能去。一則我沒(méi)有錢(qián),二則我工作太多。
