DH S01E12 Part05练习及答案：
Running out of steam：an idiom that refers to losing energy, enthusiasm, or motivation before completing something. It originates from the idea of a steam engine that slows down or stops when it runs out of steam (fuel). This expression is often used when someone starts an activity with great energy but later becomes tired or discouraged before finishing. （指在完成某件事情之前失去精力、热情或动力。它源于蒸汽机在没有足够蒸汽（燃料）时变得缓慢或停止的概念。这个表达通常用来形容某人开始一项活动时充满能量，但在完成之前变得疲倦或气馁。）

Sitting on the sidelines：to remain passive, uninvolved, or to take no active part in a situation or event. It implies a position of detachment, often in the context of avoiding taking sides or not actively participating in decision-making or action. （保持旁观、不参与或在某个情境或事件中不采取积极的行动。它暗示一种置身事外的立场，通常是在避免表态或不积极参与决策或行动的情况下。）

今日引语推荐（Beautiful Ruins）
“Time does not heal; it only changes. It wears down the sharp edges of pain, softens the contours of loss, but it never removes the marks it leaves. Those marks, they shape us—etched into our very souls. They become a part of us, reminders of who we were and who we are now. And it is in those marks, those imperfections, that we find our real beauty. We are not defined by our scars, but by how we learn to carry them.”
“时间并不能治愈；它只是改变。它磨平了痛苦的尖锐边缘，柔化了失落的轮廓，但永远不会抹去它留下的痕迹。那些痕迹，它们塑造了我们——刻在我们灵魂深处。它们成为我们的一部分，提醒着我们曾经是谁，也提醒着我们现在是谁。而正是在那些痕迹，那些不完美之中，我们找到了真正的美。我们不是由伤疤来定义，而是由我们学会如何承载它们来定义。”
“How easy it is to get lost in the noise of the world, to forget who we are, to believe that we are defined by the things we see. But beneath that surface, there is always something more, something that remains unchanged. And when we take a step back, when we look beyond the distractions, we discover that what we are searching for is not out there. It is inside us, waiting to be uncovered.”
“在这个世界的喧嚣中迷失是多么容易，忘记我们是谁，相信我们是由眼前看到的东西定义的。但在那表面之下，总有一些东西，某些不变的东西。而当我们退后一步，当我们越过那些干扰，我们会发现，我们所寻找的东西并不在外面。它在我们内心，等待被揭示。”
