"一个人只能听懂他们理解的内容"

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, when people talk, we only really pay attention to the things that make sense to us. If someone talks about something we know a lot about, we listen closely and understand. But if they talk about something we don’t know, we might not pay attention or understand. Imagine you’re at a party and people are discussing different topics. When they talk about your favorite TV show, you join in because you know all about it. But if they switch to talking about a complex work project you know nothing about, you might tune out or feel lost. The advice here is to remember that to really understand others, we sometimes need to learn new things or ask questions. This helps us connect better with people and understand more of what they say.
