第250章 把窗户打开

the Epigram of Lusin鲁迅格言

I think it is difficult to say whether there is such a thing as hope or not. Hope is like a road in the country; there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence.

—The Wisdom of China, Writer, Lu Xun; Translator, Lin Yutang

希望是本无所谓有,无所谓无的。这正如地上的路;其实地上本没有路,走的人多了,也便成了路。

——《中国的智慧》鲁迅,作家;林语堂,翻译家

Chinese people love compromise. If you say to them,“This room is too dark, we must have a window made,“ they will all oppose you. But if you say,“Let’s take off the roof,“ they will compromise with you and say,“Let's have a window.“

中国人的性情是总喜欢调和折中的,譬如你说,这屋子太暗,须在这里开一个窗,大家一定不允许的。但如果你主张拆掉屋顶他们就来调和,愿意开窗了。

——《中国的智慧》
