We sometimes confuse the feeling of temptation with that of giving into temptation. The danger here is that sometimes, feeling that we have allowed ourselves to fall, we despair of ourselves and allow ourselves to fall further.

  • -- Shraga Silverstein 施拉格·西尔弗斯坦

我们有时会混淆诱惑和屈服于诱惑的感觉。这里的危险在于,有时,我们觉得自己让自己堕落了,我们对自己绝望,让自己进一步堕落。
