CATTI和MTI每日一译Day592

原文

'Greatness of soul consists not so much in soaring high and in pressing forward, as in knowing how to adapt and limit oneself.'

- Michel de Montaigne

昨日翻译译文参考：

原文

'Today I know that I cannot control the ocean tides. I can only go with the flow.... When I struggle and try to organize the Atlantic to my specifications, I sink. If I flail and thrash and growl and grumble, I go under. But if I let go and float, I am borne aloft.'

- Marie Stilkind

吴杰参考译文：

“今天，大海潮涨潮落，非人力所能控制。我只能随大流了.... 我若是用尽浑身解数，想让大西洋的海水听我的安排，就只有沉下去的份儿。可如果我扭来扭去，乱动一气，咬牙切齿，嘟囔不停，就会越沉越深。可是，一旦我放松手脚，只管飘着就行，海水反倒会把我托起来。”

—— Marie Stilkind
