喜樂美語

You can picture beginning as the very first edge of something that runs along a line in time — the spot where a story, an event, or a stretch of time first opens. Stand at that edge and everything else still lies ahead of you.

可以想成一條沿著時間延伸的線，beginning 就是這條線最前面的那一端——故事、事件、或一段時間剛剛掀開的那一刻。站在那個起點上，後面的一切都還沒發生，都還在前方等著。
