A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
后果
Consequences
There are historic situations in which refusal to defend the inheritance of a civilization, however imperfect, against tyranny and aggression may result in consequences even worse than war.

Chance plays a powerful role in every life - our brains and personalities are just chemical soup, after all; a few drops here or there matter enormously - but consequences often become more serious as income levels go down.

They tend to be pretty abstract ones then, like doing what will have the best consequences; obviously you wouldn't specify what consequences are best, they may be different in some circumstances, so at a lower, more specific level, you may well get differences.
他们往往是非常抽象的，比如做什么会有最好的结果;显然，你不会指定什么结果是最好的，它们在某些情况下可能是不同的，所以在更低、更具体的层次上，你很可能会得到不同的结果。
I think it's harder than ever to be an artist. I think that you end up, especially as a middle-aged person, you pay such big consequences for saying, 'I'm just going to devote my life to making art,' or 'I'm going to devote my life to writing novels.' You end up with no resources.
我认为成为一名艺术家比以往任何时候都难。我认为你最终，尤其是作为一个中年人，你要为说“我要把我的一生奉献给艺术”或“我要把我的一生奉献给写小说”而付出巨大的代价。“你最终会一无所有。
