A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
弱点
Weakness
There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.
眼泪中有一种神圣。它们不是软弱的标志,而是力量的标志。他们的口才比一万种语言还好。他们是极度悲伤、深深的悔恨和难以言表的爱的使者。
Conscious of my own weakness, I can only seek fervently the guidance of the Ruler of the Universe, and, relying on His all-powerful aid, do my best to restore Union and peace to a suffering people, and to establish and guard their liberties and rights.
意识到自己的弱点,我只能热切地寻求宇宙统治者的指引,并依靠他全能的援助,尽我最大的努力恢复联邦与和平,为受苦受难的人民,建立并捍卫他们的自由与权利。
Death used to announce itself in the thick of life but now people drag on so long it sometimes seems that we are reaching the stage when we may have to announce ourselves to death. It is as though one needs a special strength to die, and not a final weakness.
死亡过去常常在生命的壮年宣布它自己,但现在人们拖得太久了,有时我们似乎到了不得不宣布死亡的时候。就好像一个人死的时候需要一种特殊的力量,而不是最终的弱点。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Never apologize, mister. It's a sign of weakness.
从不道歉,先生。这是软弱的表现。
Flee an enemy who knows your weakness.
逃离一个知道你弱点的敌人。
Let no one think that flexibility and a predisposition to compromise is a sign of weakness or a sell-out.
不要让任何人认为灵活性和妥协的倾向是软弱或背叛的迹象。
My biggest weakness is patience, wanting to see things happen too quickly or get changes in place right away. Not having the patience to let things develop.
我最大的缺点是缺乏耐心,希望事情发生得太快,或者立即做出改变。没有耐心让事情发展。
Once we know our weaknesses they cease to do us any harm.
一旦我们知道了自己的弱点,它们就不会再伤害我们了。
Those who gave thee a body, furnished it with weakness; but He who gave thee Soul, armed thee with resolution. Employ it, and thou art wise; be wise and thou art happy.
赐给你身体的,是软弱的;惟有那赐你生命的,用坚决武装你。应用智慧,你就有智慧;聪明就会幸福。
