我们不喜欢失去任何一个敌人；因为在受苦的当儿，我们需要一个可以被指责的人。如果承认自己的苦皆是自己的愚蠢造成的，那多让人沮丧；但一般而言，那确是事实。
---罗素
（ 注： 我自己翻译的请看英文原文对照。）

We do not like to be robbed of an enemy; we want someone to hate when we suffer. It is so depressing to think that we suffer because we are fools; yet, taking mankind in the mass, that is the truth.

Bertrand Russell

Anyone's gonna pull an all-nighter?
all-nighter 即我们常说的“通宵”，通宵达旦做某事就说：pull an all-nighter to do something，例如：I pulled an all-nighter to watch the game. 我通宵达旦看比赛。此外，“开夜车、熬夜”我们可以说：burn the midnight oil，例如：I have a big exam tomorrow so I'll be burning the midnight oil tonight. ​​​

President Putin's visit to China just ten days into his new term proves that we are important to Russia at this stage. Looking at Russia's losses on the battlefield in Ukraine this month, it should indeed not be too optimistic. The Chinese have an old saying, "borrow from the slope and fall from the donkey." It is time for President Putin to consider how to exit the war gracefully. Listen to a piece of advice from an old Chinese friend, take a step back. [握手]#刘骏咨询#
