"只有在被描述之后事情才真正发生"

Virginia Woolf

Simplified Meaning:

When something occurs, it doesn't truly exist for others until we tell them about it. Think about a beautiful sunrise you see early in the morning. Until you take a picture and show it to your friends or describe it to someone, they won't know or understand how amazing it was. By sharing your story or description, you make the event real for them. In history, an important event is recorded and described in books, and that’s how people learn about it later on. Without those records, important moments might be forgotten. If someone experiences a personal achievement, like winning a race, they feel proud and excited. But the feeling and details become more meaningful and remembered when they tell friends and family about it. By describing our experiences, thoughts, and feelings, we give them substance and allow others to understand and feel connected to them too.
