A：I don’t get it, Frank is normally not very conscientious, why does he always win first place in the individual achievement competition?
B：He can’t help being a natural charmer.
A：It’s so unfair, I clearly work much harder than him, yet I always lose out to him.
B：This is the lot of us mere mortals; if you want to win then you’ll need to work a thousand times harder than he does.

B：誰叫他天生就是個萬人迷呢？
A：真不甘心，我明明比他更拼，卻老是輸給他。
B：這就是我們平凡人的宿命啊，想贏就只能比他更加倍的努力吧。
