"于是我们自豪地点了早餐,一份煎蛋卷,烤面包和咖啡,而我们得到的是一壶酒,一块面包,和在荒野中的你的歌声,但那要好得多。"
— John Steinbeck
Simplified Meaning:
Imagine you plan a simple breakfast with eggs, toast, and coffee. This is what you feel you want at the moment. However, instead of what you expected, you receive something completely different: a bottle of wine, bread, and the company of someone special singing to you. At first, this might seem strange or disappointing because it’s not what you thought you wanted. But then you realize that what you got was actually much better. It brought joy, connection, and a beautiful experience that far outweighed the original plan. This teaches us that sometimes, unexpected outcomes can lead to something wonderful and more fulfilling than our original intentions. Embracing these surprises can bring real happiness, so staying open to what life offers can lead to better experiences than expected.
