今日引语推荐（The known world）
“People live with the illusion of choice, unaware that the paths they walk were laid out long before their feet ever touched the earth. They believe they are free to choose their destiny, yet their choices are often shaped by forces beyond their control, by the shadows of history that linger in the air. To break free, one must first understand the chains that bind them — and the strength it takes to shatter them.”
“人们生活在选择的幻觉中，不知道他们所走的道路早在他们的双脚踏上这片土地之前就已铺设好。他们以为自己可以自由选择命运，然而他们的选择往往受制于超出他们控制的力量，受制于历史的阴影，那些阴影弥漫在空气中。要想挣脱，首先必须了解束缚自己的锁链——以及打破它们所需的力量。”
“In a world where the lines between right and wrong are often blurred, true freedom cannot be bought or traded; it must be fought for, earned through struggle. And yet, the cost of freedom is often paid not by the one who is liberated, but by those who dared to seek it. This is the paradox of existence — the very idea of liberty can be a chain for someone else, a question unanswered as the world keeps spinning in circles of repetition.”
“在一个是非界限常常模糊的世界里，真正的自由无法通过购买或交换获得；它必须通过斗争争取，经过艰难才得以赢得。然而，自由的代价往往不是由那些获得解放的人支付，而是由那些敢于追求自由的人承担。这就是存在的悖论——自由的观念本身可能成为他人的枷锁，问题依旧没有答案，世界仍在循环往复中旋转。”

“A life is not measured by the land you own but by the seeds you plant in others’ hearts. Tend to kindness like a garden in drought; even the smallest bloom can outlast the harshest winter. For what is legacy if not the stories that take root when we are gone?. Hope is a lantern carried through a storm. It flickers, sputters, threatens to die—but each stumble forward proves light needs no certainty to guide. Hold it high enough, and even the lost become beacons for others wandering in the dark.”
“生命的价值不在拥有的土地，而在他人心中播下的种子。在旱季将善意当作花园照料——再小的花也能熬过凛冬。若离去时无故事生根，遗产何以称遗产？。希望是暴雨中提着的灯。它摇曳欲熄，但每一步踉跄都证明：光无需确定方向也能引路。举得够高时，迷途者亦成他人的灯塔。”
“Courage is not a roar but a whisper—the quiet choice to stand when every bone begs to kneel. It lives in the mother who sings lullabies through barred windows, in the child who shares bread despite hunger. These are the unsung revolutions that bend the arc of the world. To forgive is not to forget the wound, but to stop letting its scar dictate your steps. The past may chain your ankles, but the future waits in the rhythm of your breath—a dance only you can begin.”
“勇气非咆哮，而是低语——是浑身战栗仍挺身的沉默选择。它存于铁窗后母亲哼唱的摇篮曲，存于饥饿时分食面包的孩童。这些无声革命，悄然扭转世界的弧线。原谅非遗忘伤痕，而是不再任其疤痕操控步伐。过去或被锁住脚踝，但未来藏在呼吸的节奏里——一支唯你能起的舞。”

今日引语推荐（The known world）
“History, like a river, flows forward, yet it is filled with the remnants of those who were swept away by its currents. We remember the names of the victors, the ones who bent history to their will, but what of the forgotten, the silent figures who were cast aside like stones on a riverbank? Their stories are buried, but they shape the path ahead in ways we cannot fully comprehend. Perhaps the true weight of history lies not in what we know, but in what we choose to forget.”
“历史像河流一样，向前流淌，然而它却充满了那些被水流卷走的残余。我们记得胜利者的名字，那些将历史按其意志弯曲的人，但那些被遗忘的、沉默的身影呢？他们像河岸上的石头一样被抛弃，他们的故事被埋藏，但他们以我们无法完全理解的方式，塑造着未来的道路。或许，历史的真正重量不在于我们所知道的，而在于我们选择遗忘的。”
“The tragedy of the world is not in its injustices alone, but in the quiet acceptance of them. We, as a society, have become so accustomed to suffering that we no longer see it for what it is. It is a strange paradox — in our search for meaning, we become numb to the pain that should spur us to action. To change the world, we must first awaken ourselves from this complacency, see the truth that lies before us, and refuse to stand idly by.”
“世界的悲剧不仅仅在于它的不公，更在于我们对此的静默接受。我们，作为社会，已经对痛苦习以为常，以至于不再看出它的真面目。这是一个奇异的悖论——在我们寻找意义的过程中，我们对本应激励我们行动的痛苦感到麻木。要改变世界，我们首先必须从这种自满中觉醒，看到摆在我们面前的真相，并拒绝袖手旁观。”
