我早就说过，你成不了气候。

I always said that you would never come to anything.

谁说我们成不了姑嫂啊？

Who says we shall not be sisters?

你们永远成不了气候，任何人都不能，除非挽起袖子，到泥水里摸爬滚打，只有这样，不然就出国做移民……上帝啊！

' You'll never amount to anything, any of you, till you roll up your sleeves and getright down into the muck. That, or emigrate . . . God! If I could emigrate . .

在某些行业，老好人思想成不了大事。

In some professions, niceness does not get you very far.

经不起误会和冤枉，就成不了知心朋友。

Can not stand to misunderstand and wrong, became not bosom friend.
