A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
悲伤
Grief
After that I couldn't show my face outside. I lost my identity and balance. I was still living with my parents, and they were my only friends. For so many people, this thing with the nurse was confirmation that I must be mad or mentally ill.
从那以后我就不能在外面露面了。我失去了我的身份和平衡。我仍然和父母住在一起，他们是我唯一的朋友。对很多人来说，护士的这件事证实了我一定是疯了或有精神疾病。
There is no word for feeling nostalgic about the future, but that's what a parent's tears often are, a nostalgia for something that has not yet occurred. They are the pain of hope, the helplessness of hope, and finally, the surrender to hope.
没有一个词可以形容对未来的怀旧之情，但这就是父母的眼泪，对尚未发生的事情的怀旧之情。他们是痛苦的希望，无助的希望，最后，向希望投降。
Death and pain dominate this world, for though many are cured, they leave still weak, still tremulous, still knowing mortality has whispered to them; have seen in the folding of white bedspreads according to rule the starched pleats of a shroud.
死亡和痛苦主宰着这个世界，因为尽管许多人已经痊愈，他们离开时仍然虚弱，仍然战栗，仍然知道死神在向他们低语;在白色床罩的折叠中看到了按规则浆过的褶皱的裹尸布。
The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than futile and hopeless labor.
西西弗斯被神罚不停地把一块石头滚到山顶，石头就会从山顶上掉下来。出于某种原因，他们认为没有什么比徒劳无功、毫无希望的劳动更可怕的惩罚了。
There are so many cruel decisions parents have to make when their child dies. The funeral director requested a sheet for the coffin, and I sent the cozy flannel one, pale blue with happy snowmen, that had just been put away with the winter linens.
当孩子死后，父母不得不做出许多残酷的决定。殡仪馆馆长要了一张铺在棺材上的床单，我送来了舒适的法兰绒床单，淡蓝的，上面画着快乐的雪人，那是刚和冬天的床单放在一起的。
For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. I believed, there fore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted: I said in my haste, All men are liars.
因为你救我的灵魂免了死亡，救我的眼睛免了流泪，救我的脚免了跌倒。我要在耶和华面前，行在活人之地。我曾受极大的困苦。我曾急促地说，人都是说谎的。
When you get just a complete sense of blackness or void ahead of you, that somehow the future looks an impossible place to be, and the direction you are going seems to have no purpose, there is this word despair which is a very awful thing to feel.
当你感到眼前一片漆黑或空虚，未来似乎是一个不可能的地方，你要去的方向似乎没有目标，有一个词绝望，这是一种非常可怕的感觉。
It took me less than half a lifetime to realize that regret is one of the few guaranteed certainties. Sooner or later everything is touched by it, despite our naive and senseless hope that just this time we will be spared its cold hand on our heart.
我用了不到半辈子的时间才意识到，后悔是少数几个肯定的事情之一。总有一天，一切都会被它所感动，尽管我们天真而又毫无意义地希望，就在这一次，我们将不会被它冰冷的手放在我们的心上。
That's the thing about depression: A human being can survive almost anything, as long as she sees the end in sight. But depression is so insidious, and it compounds daily, that it's impossible to ever see the end. The fog is like a cage without a key.
这就是抑郁症的原因:一个人几乎可以在任何事情上生存，只要她看到末日就在眼前。但抑郁症是如此的潜伏，它每天都在加剧，根本不可能看到它的尽头。雾就像一个没有钥匙的笼子。
I actually had an experience where I thought somebody was breaking into my house. That's got to be the most terrified I've ever been in my life. I don't know if that's saying much. The fear, especially as a female in a house by yourself, was horrible.
我有过这样的经历，我以为有人闯进了我的房子。这是我这辈子最害怕的事了。我不知道这是否说明了什么。这种恐惧，尤其是作为一个独自在家的女性，是可怕的。
The sense of war, the extraordinary bravery of the Allied armies, the numbers, the losses, the real suffering that disappears in time and commemorative oratory, are not marked out in any red guidebook of the emotions, but they are present if you look.
战争的感觉，盟军的非凡勇气，人数，损失，随着时间的流逝而消失的真正的痛苦和纪念演说，并没有在任何一本情感的红色指南上标出，但如果你仔细观察，就会发现它们就在眼前。
We live in downtown Manhattan and we have pretty big windows that looked right at the World Trade Center. I was home along with Kai and we watched it all happen. I was holding him in my arms and we were looking out the window when the second plane hit.
我们住在曼哈顿市中心，我们有非常大的窗户，正好可以看到世贸中心。我和凯在家里，我们看着这一切发生。我把他抱在怀里，当第二架飞机撞上时，我们正往窗外看。

这不是强迫幸福。而是不要让悲伤获胜。
Sometimes grief is a comfort we grant ourselves because it's less terrifying than trying for joy.
有时候，悲伤是我们给自己的一种安慰，因为它没有为快乐而努力那么可怕。
Humility rests upon the shores of your sorrows and blossoms upon the mountain of your faith.
