 A person¹ has two ears but only one mouth.

That's because we are meant to listen,

not to just speak.

People talk too much. 

Everybody³ wants others⁴ to listen to them

but forget to listen to others.

That's why we are not really communicating⁵

as² much as we think we are.

一个人有两只耳朵，但只有一张嘴巴。

这是因为我们天生就是要去倾听的，

却忘了去倾听别人。

这就是为什么我们的交流

实际上没有我们以为的那么多。
