If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I rise in the morning torn between a desire to improve (or save) the world and a desire to enjoy (or savour) the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.

  • -- E. B. White E.B.白

如果这个世界仅仅是诱人的,那就很容易了。如果仅仅是挑战,那就没有问题。但我早上起来时,却在改善(或拯救)世界的欲望和享受(或品味)世界的欲望之间左右为难。这使得计划一天的工作变得困难。
