We all have friends, family, and companions. But sometimes when we are faced with some kind of trouble, we can only work it out by our own effort.
Have you had this kind of experience before?
With the wane of the afternoon went her hopes, her courage, and her strength. She had been astonishingly persistent. So earnest an effort was well deserving of a better reward. On every hand, to her fatigued senses, the great business portion grew larger, harder, more stolid in its indifference. It seemed as if it was all closed to her, that the struggle was too fierce for her to hope to do anything at all.(From Sister Carrie)
她的希望、勇氣和力氣隨著下午的逝去也在漸漸消失。她這天一直表現出驚人的毅力,像她這么執著而努力地找工作,理應有個更好的結果。可每次碰壁以后,在她筋疲力盡之余,這個大商業區顯得越發的高不可攀,冷漠無情了。
