【每日一句】
It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
这像大海捞针一样难。
注释:中文里表达做一件事繁杂、没有头绪，可以用“大海捞针”之类的比喻

；英文中也有一个类似的说法，“在干草垛里找针”。find a needle in a

haystack，完全就可以当作“海底捞针”来使用。

power
To know the pains of power，
we must go to those who have it；
to know its pleasure，
we must go to those who are seeking it：
the pains of power is real，
its pleasures imaginary.

权力
欲知权力带来的痛苦，
去问那些当权者；
欲知权力带来的乐趣，
去问那些追逐权势者：
权力带来的痛苦是真实的，
而权力带来的乐趣只不过是凭空想象的。
