Greater

The greater the conceptual significance of a literary product, the more it should be assumed that it is based on an idea that determines the whole, and that the deeper consciousness of the time to which it belongs is reflected in it.

当我回去工作的时候,总是有一种不可避免的感觉。这可能完全是一种错觉,但我需要从床上爬起来,开始我的工作。那种我无法避免的感觉。我还是继续吧。

If you are a rich person straining every sinew to keep every last pound in your pocket, there comes a point when you realize you are not just escaping the clutches of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. You are passing a greater burden on to people poorer than yourself, and depriving even poorer people of your support.
如果你是一个富人,竭尽全力把口袋里的每一英镑都揣在口袋里,那么当你意识到自己不仅仅是在逃避财政大臣的控制时,你就会意识到这一点。你们把更大的负担转嫁给比你们更穷的人,剥夺了更穷的人对你们的支持。

Greater than scene is situation. Greater than situation is implication. Greater than all of these is a single, entire human being, who will never be confined in any frame.
