留美老师带你每日说英文 第708期:当能力支撑不起梦想(在线收听

   台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是:

  The only thing you can think about is the terrible gap between what you wanted to do and what you've actually done...and it seems your taste is well ahead of your abilities. You run away in distress maybe into the arms of someone who loves you...or perhaps you choose to sit alone where you contemplate your own profound mediocrity.
  你唯一能想到的就是:你原本想做的事与你实际做到的事之间,差距大得恐怖,而且看来你的品味似乎远远超前于你的能力。你因此痛苦地逃开,可能是逃进爱你的人的怀里;又或许你选择独自坐着,沉静地思索着自己极为平庸的表现。
