ONE STORY, ONE FAMILY
用一个有意义的场景串起这组词和它们的细微差别。
For years, Mira stayed in the same job because leaving felt like failure. One evening, a slightly late train gave her just enough time to read an acceptance email for a course in another city; the decision still carried a slight fear, but she boarded before courage could become an excuse. Months later, she understood that a small departure can redraw an entire life.
多年来,米拉一直留在原来的工作岗位,因为她觉得离开就意味着失败。一天傍晚,一班稍晚的列车让她恰好有时间读到外地一门课程的录取邮件;这个决定仍带着些许恐惧,但她在勇气重新变成借口之前登上了车。几个月后,她明白,轻微的一次转身,也能重新描画整个人生。
