Seven Times Have I Despised My Soul

The first time when I saw her being meek that she might attain height.

第一次，我本可以向前一步时却犹豫徘徊；

The second time when I saw her limping before the crippled.

第二次，我在失败还没真的到来时却已经垂头丧气；

The third time when she was given to choose between the hard and the easy, and she chose the easy.

第三次，我面临选择时总是选择了容易；

The fourth time when she committed a wrong, and comforted herself that others also commit wrong.

第四次，我犯了错时却宽慰自己别人也会犯同样的错；

The fifth time when she forbore for weakness, and attributed her patience to strength.

第五次，我因无能而躺平时却赞美自己能忍耐；

The sixth time when she despised the ugliness of a face, and knew not that it was one of her own masks.

第六次，我鄙视他人的丑陋却不知自己也是其中一员；

And the seventh time when she sang a song of praise, and deemed it a virtue.

第七次，我终于沦为平庸时却以为自己始终不凡。
