Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time.
有時候,在同一時間有兩件事要做。
We can only take up one of them;
我們只能選擇其中一個;
the other has to wait or be given up.
另一件事只能等到以后再做或者干脆放棄。
But we know the future is uncertain—
可是你知道,未來不可預(yù)知,
the changed situation may not allow us to do what is left behind.
今后的變化可能不允許你完成剩下的這件事。
Thus we are caught in a fix and feel sad.
所以你會覺得郁悶、難過。
How come those nice opportunities and brilliant ideas come all at once.
為什么這么好的機(jī)遇和絕妙的想法會聚集到同一個時間?
It may happen that our life changes suddenly
你的一生可能會發(fā)生戲劇性的改變。
just because we choose one over the other.
有可能就是因為你選擇了這件事而放棄了那件事。
