A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

Acceptance
It is not necessarily those lands which are the most fertile or most favored in climate that seem to me the happiest, but those in which a long struggle of adaptation between man and his environment has brought out the best qualities of both.
在我看来，并不一定是那些最肥沃或气候最适宜的土地是最幸福的，而是那些人类与其环境之间长期的适应斗争使两者都具备了最好的品质的土地。
She had believed the land was her enemy, and she struggled against it, but you could not make war against a land any more than you could against the sea. One had to learn to live with it, to belong to it, to fit into its seasons and its ways.
她曾认为土地是她的敌人，她与土地作斗争，但你不能对土地发动战争，就像你不能对大海发动战争一样。人们必须学会和它一起生活，融入它，适应它的季节和生活方式。
If a ship has been sunk, I can't bring it up. If it is going to be sunk, I can't stop it. I can use my time much better working on tomorrow's problem than by fretting about yesterday's. Besides, if I let those things get me, I wouldn't last long.
如果一艘船沉没了，我不能把它打捞上来。如果船要沉了，我也阻止不了。我可以更好地利用我的时间来解决明天的问题，而不是为昨天的烦恼。此外，如果我让这些东西抓住我，我不会坚持太久。
To act with common sense according to the moment, is the best wisdom I know; and the best philosophy is to do one's duties, take the world as it comes, submit respectfully to one's lot; bless the goodness that has given us so much happiness with it,
我所知道的最好的智慧，就是根据当时的情况，用常识行事;最好的哲学是尽自己的责任，顺其自然，恭敬地服从自己的命运;上帝保佑赐予我们如此多幸福的善良，
An individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law.
一个人如果违反了良心告诉他是不公正的法律，并且心甘情愿地接受监禁的惩罚，以唤起社会对其不公正的良心，那么他实际上是在表达对法律的最高尊重。
Acceptance of one's life has nothing to do with resignation; it does not mean running away from the struggle. On the contrary, it means accepting it as it comes, with all the handicaps of heredity, of suffering, of psychological complexes and injustices.
接受一个人的生活与顺从无关;这并不意味着逃避斗争。相反，它意味着接受它的本来面目，带有遗传、痛苦、心理复杂和不公正的所有障碍。
When we see ourselves in a situation which must be endured and gone through, it is best to meet it with firmness, and accommodate everything to it in the best way practicable. This lessens the evil, while fretting and fuming only increase your own torments.
当我们看到自己处于一个必须忍受和经历的境地时，最好是坚定地面对它，并以切实可行的最佳方式适应它。这减少了罪恶，而烦恼和愤怒只会增加你自己的痛苦。
It's surprising how many persons go through life without ever recognizing that their feelings toward other people are largely determined by their feelings toward themselves, and if you're not comfortable within yourself, you can't be comfortable with others.
令人惊讶的是，很多人在一生中都没有意识到他们对别人的感觉很大程度上是由他们对自己的感觉决定的。
Very few live by choice. Every man is placed in his present condition by causes which acted without his foresight, and with which he did not always willingly cooperate; and therefore you will rarely meet one who does not think the lot of his neighbor better than his own.
很少有人是根据自己的选择生活的。每个人之所以处于目前的境况，都是由于一些原因造成的，而这些原因的发生与他的远见无关，而且他并不总是愿意与之合作;因此，你很少会遇到这样一个人，他不把邻居的利益看得比自己的利益更重要。
The survival of the fittest is the ageless law of nature, but the fittest are rarely the strong. The fittest are those endowed with the qualifications for adaptation, the ability to accept the inevitable and conform to the unavoidable, to harmonize with existing or changing conditions.
适者生存是亘古不变的自然规律，但适者生存的往往不是强者。适者生存的人是那些具有适应能力的人，他们有能力接受不可避免的事情，顺应不可避免的事情，并与现有或正在变化的条件相协调。
Some people confuse acceptance with apathy, but there's all the difference in the world. Apathy fails to distinguish between what can and what cannot be helped; acceptance makes that distinction. Apathy paralyzes the will-to-action; acceptance frees it by relieving it of impossible burdens.
有些人把接受和冷漠混淆了，但世界上有很大的不同。冷漠无法区分什么能做，什么不能做;接受决定了这种区别。冷漠麻痹了行动的意愿;接受可以让你从不可能的负担中解脱出来。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Nature is just enough; but men and women must comprehend and accept her suggestions.
自然就足够了;但是男人和女人必须理解并接受她的建议。
The ideal man bears the accidents of life with dignity and grace, making the best of circumstances.
理想的人以尊严和优雅的态度，充分利用环境，承受生活中的意外。
The greatest gift that you can give to others is the gift of unconditional love and acceptance.
你能给别人最好的礼物就是无条件的爱和接受。
You have come into a hard world. I know of only one easy place in it, and that is the grave.
你来到了一个艰难的世界。我只知道其中一个容易的地方，那就是坟墓。
Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
人是为患难而生，好像火星往上飞。
