#双语语录# When you are young, happiness is something to be had; as you age, happiness becomes a goal that you chase; now you have grown, happiness is a state of mind that you try to understand.

小时候的快乐是样东西，拥有就幸福；成长时的快乐是个目标，达到就幸福；长大后的快乐是个心态，明白就幸福。

By expressing reality, poetry masters and overcomes it. Poetry creates around man a delicate, tender miniworld to protect him from the dreadfulness of the maxiworld. Every Negro or Eskimo lullaby is a warm nest for a human nestling, enveloping its helplessness. Let our words be as necessary and useful as once were words of magic. This is an unachievable ideal. (Anna Swir)

✏️「妄自菲薄」用英文怎么说？

在《百年酒馆》里学到一个词组：

sell sb / oneself short

表示「低估，轻视，小瞧」某人或者自己。

看一看英文解释：to not consider someone or something to be as valuable or good as he, she, or it deserves。

举个例子：
▪️不要小看自己——你有技能，也有经验。
Don't sell yourself short - you've got the skills and the experience.
