“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.
“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

佛罗多说:“我希望在我的时代不必发生这种事。”
“我也是,”甘道夫说,“所有活着看到这样的时刻的人也一样。但这不是他们自己决定的。我们所要做的就是决定如何利用时间。”
