Being "contented" ought to mean in English, as it does in French, being pleased. Being content with an attic ought not to mean being unable to move from it and resigned to living in it; it ought to mean appreciating all there is in such a position.

  • -- G. K. Chesterton 特顿

“满足”在英语中应该是“高兴”的意思,就像在法语中一样。对阁楼感到满意,不应该意味着不能离开它而甘心情愿地住在里面;这应该意味着在这种情况下,要珍惜所拥有的一切。
