把这一句，留给此刻的你

How could a man be satisfied with a decision between such alternatives and under such circumstances? No more than he can be satisfied with his hat, which he's chosen from among such shapes as the resources of the age offer him, wearing it at best with a resignation which is chiefly supported by comparison.

在这种情况下，一个人怎么能对在这样的选择中作出的决定感到满意呢?就像他对自己的帽子不满意一样，他的帽子是从这个时代的各种资源提供给他的各种形状中挑选出来的，戴上它顶多也只能听天由命，这主要是通过比较来支持的。
