A gift free of trials is a disaster to those who receive it.

未经诱惑而获得的恩赐对领受它的人而言，是一种灾祸。

我被这意外的灾祸吓呆了。

Thereupon, I agitatedly got up and asked the tour guide:"Why are we going back after only just getting half way up the mountain?"

于是我紧张起来了，问导游："为什么才到半山腰就往回走？"我们幸免于一场灾祸。

This is a apocalyptic picture.

这是一张预示灾祸的照片。

English: Confucius said:"In this day and age, if one does not have Zhu Tuo's(1) artfulness in speech but has Song Chao's beauty(2), disaster is inevitable."

Modern：孔子说："没有祝鮀的敏捷善辩，只有宋朝容貌之美，在当今之世是很难避免灾祸的。"

When war demanded his attention, his spear was not wreathed with ivy, nor his helmet redolent of unguents; he did not come out to battle from the women's chamber, but, hushing the bacchanal shouts and putting an end to the orgies, he became at once, as Euripides calls it,"the minister of the unpriestly Mars;" and, in short, he never once incurred disaster through indolence or self-indulgence.

然而一旦放下酒杯、推开女人，他立刻就神勇无比，正如欧里庇德斯的诗句"the minister of the unpriestly Mars"，总之就是德米特里从来也没有因为纵情声色而招致灾祸。

The optimistic can find opportunity from mischance ,while the pessimistic only can find mischance from opportunity.

乐观者在灾祸中看到机会；悲观者在机会中看到灾祸

We believe in 'even distribution trumps poverty' by our tradition, but in such a system where interests and misfortunes are allocated evenly and 'sweetness and bitterness' shared according to convention, is there any sense of responsibility to be willing to keep self-restrained for 'others' being away from misfortunes?

日积累月的民众生活卫生习惯中，沉淀下多少恶习陋性——随地吐痰、随地大小便、随地抛弃果皮塑料袋、就餐分餐制难以推行、酒后驾车、公共场所吸烟等等……"我们"的传统文化是"不患寡，患不均"——在这利益与灾祸均享均沾、"同甘共苦"的行为惯性中，可有愿为"他人"避免灾祸而自控自律的一份责任感？

Let no man seek [ 770 ] Henceforth to be foretold what shall befall Him or his Childern, evil he may be sure, Which neither his foreknowing can prevent, And hee the future evil shall no less In apprehension then in substance feel [ 775 ] Grievous to bear: but that care now is past, Man is not whom to warne: those few escapt Famin and anguish will at last consume Wandring that watrie Desert: I had hope When violence was ceas't, and Warr on Earth, [ 780 ] All would have then gon well, peace would have crownd With length of happy dayes the race of man; But I was farr deceav'd; for now I see Peace to corrupt no less then Warr to waste.

但愿今后谁也不再预知他自己或子孙将发生的事，发生的，确是灾祸，那是不能预防的，而且他对未来的灾祸所感到的痛苦，和实际感觉到的祸患一样难以承当。忧患终于过去了，警戒对于人，是没有用的。少数逃脱了饥饿和哀恸的人，仍以徘徊于水漫的旷野告终。我曾希望在地上暴行停止，战争绝迹时，万物俱兴，由于和平使人类获得持续的幸福日子。可是我大错特错，因为我看见和平所腐蚀的，多于战争所毁坏的。

I am accused of being overreligious," she said in her quiet, frank manner,"but that does not prevent me thinking the children very cruel who obstinately commit such suicide.""
