Examples in context
- 我哋嘅年輕女性同男性生活喺強迫之下，嗰啲只係想靠喺冇嘅肩膀上嘅人，喺同伴嘅懷抱入面，佢哋嘅財產本來會透過可恥嘅程序獲得，就好似佢哋畀徒勞嘅魅力同奇美拉所引誘，所有呢啲人都必須用兩隻手嘅勇氣去尋找出路，以便從深深嘅黑暗中走出嚟，由佢哋自己，無論佢哋係男人定女人。Our young women and men living under duress, those who do nothing but seek to lean on the shoulder of who does not have one, in the arms of companions whose property would have been granted by shameful procedures, baited as they were by futile charms and chimeras, all these must take their courage in both hands to seek a way out in order to come out of the deep darkness, by them themselves, whether they are men or women.This sentence shows how people living under duress must take their 勇氣 in both hands to seek a way out.Tatoeba #13104121 by Davidgo5867, translation #9832149 by AmarMecheri
- 我冇嘢可以同友誼比較；冇嘢係上帝畀人嘅。人哋一係就鍾意錢，一係就鍾意健康嘅身體，一係就鍾意名氣同光環，一係就鍾意樂趣 — 但呢啲太錯喇，因為佢哋係唔確定嘅，而且係嚟自運氣而唔係智慧。其實，友誼係嚟自智慧、愛、美好嘅品格同勇氣；如果你冇朋友，你就會有暴君嘅生活；如果你冇朋友，你嘅生活就會得到祝福。Nothing I can compare with friendship. Nothing that Gods give people is better. People either prefer money, or health body, or fame and glory, or pleasure – but these are too wrong because they are uncertain and come from fortune rather than wisdom. In fact, friendship comes from wisdom, love, beautiful character and courage. Friendship isn't able to exist without courage. If you have no friends, you will have a tyrant's life. If you find a real friend, your life will be blessed.This sentence describes how friendship is rooted in wisdom, love, beautiful character and 勇氣.Tatoeba #13106180 by Davidgo5867, translation #11493540 by Attack_Infantry
- 冇錯，每一日都有佢嘅惡，同埋佢嘅好，但係如果唔係因為信仰而得到強化同安慰，生活一定有幾難，尤其係當每一日嘅惡都越嚟越嚴重嘅時候。而喺基督裏面，所有世俗嘅事物都可以變得更好，亦可以話係聖化。西奧，如果我唔傳福音，我就好慘；如果我唔以呢個目標為目標，對基督有信心同希望，噉對我嚟講的確係唔好嘅，但係我有啲勇氣。It is true that every day has its own evil, and its good too. But how difficult must life be, especially farther on when the evil of each day increases as far as worldly things go, if it is not strengthened and comforted by faith. And in Christ all worldly things may become better, and, as it were, sanctified. Theo, woe is me if I do not preach the Gospel. If I did not aim at that and possess faith and hope in Christ, it would be bad for me indeed, but no I have some courage.This sentence is used to express having some 勇氣 when facing the difficulties of life.Tatoeba #13107876 by Davidgo5867, translation #10265756 by LeeSooHa
