A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
悲伤
Grief
Yes, and when I had Aaron, he left me, and I didn't know how to raise a child. And I wasn't close to my parents, and because I was too proud to go to my parents for help, I mistreated that little baby. I didn't want a baby.
是的,当我有了亚伦,他离开了我,我不知道如何抚养孩子。我和父母关系不太好,因为我太骄傲了,不愿向父母求助,所以我虐待了那个小婴儿。我不想要孩子。
I developed a deep sadness for celebrities, a pity that they often are caught in a plastic world that runs too hard and too fast, and that many times that world means destroyed relationships with everyone they know and love.
我对名人产生了一种深深的悲伤,遗憾的是,他们经常被困在一个塑料世界里,这个世界运转得太艰难、太快,很多时候,这个世界意味着与他们认识和爱的每一个人的关系都被摧毁。
Keep the Home-fires burning, While your hearts are yearning, Though your lads are far away They dream of Home. There’s a silver lining Through the dark clouds shining; Turn the dark cloud inside out, Till the boys come Home.
让家的火继续燃烧,当你的心在渴望,虽然你的孩子们远离他们梦想的家。乌云中透出一丝光亮;把乌云翻过来,直到孩子们回家。
She had been unusually silent. She had not needed his father's tactless comment to understand the full implications of Farouk's death. As he met her unblinking gaze he was reminded of one of Nefret's more vivid descriptions.
她异乎寻常地沉默。她不需要他父亲的不得体的评论来理解法鲁克之死的全部含义。当他遇到她不眨眼的凝视时,他想起了内弗雷特更生动的描述之一。
I have to confess that I have so rarely experienced triumph that I cannot claim to know it well enough to judge, but it seems to be at best a momentary joy followed instantly by sadness, and, then, of necessity, by wariness.
我必须承认,我很少经历过胜利,因此我不能说我很清楚地知道胜利的意义,但它充其量不过是短暂的快乐之后紧接着是悲伤,然后必然是警惕。
My life closed twice before its close; It yet remains to see If Immortality unveil A third event to me, So huge, so hopeless to conceive, As these that twice befell. Parting is all we know of heaven, And all we need of hell.
我的生命在结束之前已经关闭了两次; 这还有待观察 如果永生公布 第三件事, 如此巨大,如此难以想象, 就像这两次一样。 离别是我们对天堂的全部认知, 我们只需要地狱。
But I am a blasted tree; the bolt has entered my soul; and I felt then that I should survive to exhibit what I shall soon cease to be - a miserable spectacle of wrecked humanity, pitiable to others and intolerable to myself.

It is a curious sensation: the sort of pain that goes mercifully beyond our powers of feeling. When your heart is broken, your boats are burned: nothing matters any more. It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace.
这是一种奇怪的感觉:一种仁慈地超越我们感觉能力的痛苦。当你的心碎了,你的船就烧毁了:没有什么比这更重要了。这是幸福的终结,和平的开始。
When I was very young I was sort of floored by the fact that my mother and my father and everyone I knew was going to die one day, and myself too. I had a sort of a philosophical crisis. I couldn't believe that we were mortal.

But in the end, in the end one is alone. We are all of us alone. I mean I'm told these days we have to consider ourselves as being in society... but in the end one knows one is alone, that one lives at the heart of a solitude.
但最终,只有一个人。我们都是孤独的。我的意思是,现在有人告诉我,我们必须把自己看作是社会中的一员……但最后,你知道自己是孤独的,知道自己生活在孤独的中心。
I remember once I read a book on mental illness and there was a nurse that had gotten sick. Do you know what she died from? From worrying about the mental patients not being able to get their food. She became a mental patient.
我记得有一次我读了一本关于精神疾病的书,有一个护士病了。你知道她死于什么吗?从担心精神病人得不到食物。她成了一名精神病人。
I was teaching in one of the universities while the country was suffering from a severe famine. People were dying of hunger, and I felt very helpless. As an economist, I had no tool in my tool box to fix that kind of situation.
当国家遭受严重饥荒时,我在一所大学教书。人们饿死了,我感到非常无助。作为一名经济学家,我的工具箱里没有工具来解决这种情况。

In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider.

When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That's the message he is sending.
