觉得很难的一句:
Perhaps we never saw them before, and they may never cross out life's path again; but the influence of their calm, mellow natures is a libation(奠酒) poured upon our discontent, and we feel its healing touch, as the ocean feels the mountain stream fresh ending its brine(浓盐水).
可能我们不曾遇见,也可能一次相逢之后,后会无期,但是他们平和醇厚的性情却融解了我们心头的坚冰,我们感受着那治愈性的抚摸,像海洋感受到新鲜的山间小溪一样充盈。
