I did know something about computer programming (a fact that surprised my own research assistants, for changes in technology have made this human capital long obsolete).

尽管我确实对电脑编程略知一二(这个事实也让我现在的助手吃了一惊，毕竟，科技进步日新月异，人们常常望尘莫及)。

But I do not take for granted that the best thing in the world is being a Chelsea supporter. Whatever. That is something I know for a fact.

不过我不会认为世界上最美好的事情就是作为一个切尔西的支持者是理所当然的。这是一件我知道是事实的事。
