This is only a test. See what happens.
在我读过的英语文章里，这一篇最近一直在我脑海里回想，于是就花时间把它找出来。我只记得这篇文章是讲尝试，让你一直不断地尝试。现在把它转载到我博客里，时时提醒自己。
This is only a test. See what happens.
这仅仅是一个测试， 看看会发生什么。

Growing up in America in the 1970s, the TV or radio would sometimes turn into a long warning BEEEEEP. At the end, an announcer would say, “This is a test. This is only a test.”
我在美国的20世纪70年代长大，那时电视或收音机有时会播放一个长时间的充满警告意味的“哔哔”声。 最后，播音员会说：“这是一个测试，这仅仅是一个测试。”
Remember that phrase when pursuing your career.
在你攀登你的事业高峰时，请记住这个短语。
It often feels like everything is so serious – that if you make one mistake, it will all end in disaster. But really everything you do is just a test: an experiment to “see what happens”.
我们常常会有一种“一切都如此严重”的感觉—— 如果你犯了一个错误，那一切都完了。 但是，真正你做的所有事情都仅仅是一个测试：是一个关于“看看会发生什么”的实验。
My favorite times in life have often started with a “see what happens” spirit.
我生活中最喜欢的时段常开始于“看看会发生什么”的精神。
Let’s see what happens if I run my vocals through my guitar pedals.
让我们看看如果通过吉他效果器来表演我的声乐节目，会发生什么。
See what happens if I invite that famous producer out to lunch.
看看如果我邀请这位著名的制片人吃午饭，会发生什么。
See what happens if I call that radio station to ask their advice.
看看如果我打电话给广播电台询问他们的建议，会发生什么。
There is no failure. There can’t be, if your only mission was to “see what happens”.
不存在失败这回事。 如果你唯一的使命是“看看会发生什么”，那就不会有失败了。
This is a test. This is only a test. There is no downside. Try everything.
这是一个测试，这仅仅是一个测试。这没有什么不利之处，尽可能地去试一试吧。
