The metaphor I've used is... somebody's going to push my family off a cliff pretty soon, and I won't be there to catch them. And that breaks my heart. But I have some time to sew some nets to cushion the fall. So, I can curl up in a ball and cry, or I can get to work on the nets.

我用的比喻是……很快就会有人把我的家人推下悬崖,我不会去救他们的。这让我很伤心。但我有一些时间缝一些网来缓冲秋天。所以,我可以蜷缩在一个球里哭泣,或者我可以去网队工作。
