Go down through the list of 12, and I'll go back through them individually and give you an example one by one.
请仔细看一下这12个选项的列表，我会逐一回顾它们，并为每个选项提供一个具体的例子。
Number one sensible.
第一，这是非常明智的选择。
Well, when somebody is sensible, they take the right approach to something without taking risk.
嗯，当一个人头脑清醒、理智行事时，他们就会采取正确的处理方式，而不会去冒任何风险。
It's sensible when you're standing at the side of the road to look right and left, to make sure there's no traffic coming,
当你站在路边时，向左右两边看看是很明智的做法，这样可以确保没有车辆驶来。
not just walk across the road without having a care in the world.
不能只是漫不经心地穿过马路。
Okay, so you're sensible about it.
好吧，看来你对这件事的态度很理智（或者说很冷静）。
You're sensible in the way you approach the problem that your child might have at school.
你处理孩子在学校可能遇到的问题的方式非常明智。
So when he comes home and he's got a bloody nose or some little problem, you don't run down to school shouting and screaming.
所以，当他回家时，如果他的鼻子流血了或者遇到了其他小问题，你千万不要冲到学校里大喊大叫。
You sit down in a sensible way
你以一种合理的方式坐了下来。
with them and try to find out exactly what happened, and then try to find or think about the best way to deal with the problem.
与他们一起，努力弄清楚到底发生了什么，然后思考或寻找解决这个问题的最佳方法。
And that would be a sensible no, he's very sensible.
他会明智地拒绝这个提议的——他确实是个非常理智的人。
He doesn't do things without thinking about the risk.
他做事之前总会先考虑其中的风险。
He won't just run off with his friend and not tell us where he is going.
他不会只是带着他的朋友一起离开，却不告诉我们他们要去哪里。
He's really, really sensible.
他真的非常非常明智。
It's a sensible thing to do.
这样做是明智的。
So when you're sensible, you take certain precautions.

好的。
Now, sensible as an expert, as sensitive as the next word.
现在，她既像专家一样理智，又像普通人一样敏感。
And these two words get confused, sensible and sensitive because in some languages they actually have the same words.
这两个词经常被混淆——“sensible”（明智的）和 “sensitive”（敏感的）；因为在某些语言中，这两个词的词汇实际上是相同的。
So it's hard to distinguish, but in English, sensible and also sensitive.
因此很难区分这两个词的含义；但在英语中，“sensible”既表示“明智的”，也表示“敏感的”。
So when somebody is sensitive, their feelings are a little bit close to the surface.
因此，当一个人比较敏感时，他们的情绪会更容易被外部的刺激所触动（也就是说，他们的情绪会更容易表现出来）。
So if they get criticised, they get upset.
所以，如果他们受到批评，就会感到难过。
If somebody shouts at them, they get upset of they see something unsavoury on the TV or in a movie.
如果有人对他们大喊大叫，或者他们在电视或电影中看到了一些令人不快（或讨厌）的内容，他们也会感到非常沮丧（或生气）。
They they might shed a tear about children or that have been orphaned or animals that have been badly treated.
他们可能会为那些成为孤儿的孩子，或是那些受到虐待的动物而流下眼泪。
So they're very sensitive to those sort
因此，它们对这类情况非常敏感。
of situations and therefore can be very, very emotional and emotional can be a word very synonymous with the whole idea of being sensitive to.
在许多情况下，人们会表现出强烈的情绪反应；因此，情感这个词常常被用来形容人们对周围事物的高度敏感（即具有很强的感知能力）。
Now we can also be sensitive to change, like my nose can be very sensitive.
现在，我们也能像我的鼻子一样对变化保持敏锐的感知能力。
And when you go out, it's nice to breathe in deeply.
当你外出时，深呼吸一下感觉真好。
