留美老師帶你每日說英文 第708期:當能力支撐不起夢想

臺灣籍旅美老師今天交給我們的句子是：

The only thing you can think about is the terrible gap between what you wanted to do and what you've actually it seems your taste is well ahead of your abilities. You run away in distress maybe into the arms of someone who loves perhaps you choose to sit alone where you contemplate your own profound mediocrity.
你唯一能想到的就是：你原本想做的事與你實際做到的事之間，差距大得恐怖，而且看來你的品味似乎遠遠超前於你的能力。你因此痛苦地逃開，可能是逃進愛你的人的懷裏；又或許你選擇獨自坐着，沉靜地思索着自己極爲平庸的表現。
