作家伊丽莎白·吉尔伯特：请留给自己一些空间

我认识的最聪明的人

The most wise people that I know

都是那些在内心创造了足够的空间的人

are the ones who have created enough internal space

能够容纳他们自己的各个部分

to be able to allow all the parts of themselves

让它们共存尽管存在矛盾

to coexist despite the contradictions

所以他们有创造力的空间

So they have room for their creativity

也有恐惧的空间

They also have room for their fear

他们有容纳自尊的空间

They have room for their dignity

也有容纳羞愧的空间

They also have room for their shame

他们给自己留了空间

They have room for the parts of themselves

容纳那些光荣 神圣和美好的部分

That are glorious and divine and wonderful

也给自己留了空间

and they have room for

容纳那些琐碎 嫉妒和荒谬的部分

The parts themselves that are petty and jealous and ridiculous right

就像在自己内心创造了一个巨大的礼堂

like they create this big huge auditorium of a landscape inside themselves

他们不会把任何部分踢出去

They don't kick any parts out

因为你知道吗你踢不走的

Because guess what you can't

你踢不走它们的

You can't kick them out
