The willow which bends to the tempest, often escapes better than the oak which resists it; and so in great calamities, it sometimes happens that light and frivolous spirits recover their elasticity and presence of mind sooner than those of a loftier character.
在暴风雨面前弯下腰的柳树,往往比抵抗暴风雨的橡树逃得快;因此,在重大灾难中,有时轻浮轻浮的人比高尚的人更容易恢复他们的弹性和镇定。
