A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
忏悔
Confession
Confession is good for the soul only in the sense that a tweed coat is good for dandruff - it is a palliative rather than a remedy.
坦白对灵魂有好处,只是因为粗花呢外套对头皮屑有好处——这是一种姑息,而不是治疗。
I will begin with this confession: whatever I have done in the course of my life, whether it be good or evil, has been done freely; I am a free agent.
我首先要承认:我一生中所做的一切,无论是善是恶,都是自由的;我是自由球员。
Now I'll read anytime, anywhere. I love reading in front of the space heater. Isn't that a sad confession? But it's like my substitute for the roaring fireplace of yore.
现在我随时随地都可以读书。我喜欢坐在暖气前看书。这不是一个悲伤的忏悔吗?但它就像我以前的壁炉一样。
