When I've found myself at my lowest points, it's always been for lack of a reserve — whether of money, of time, or most crucially of energy.
当我发现自己处在最低谷时,这总表示缺乏储备——无论是金钱还是时间,或者是最关键的能源。
In part this was the fault of inadequateplanning and over-certainty — I should have reassessed my situation morerealistically before exhausting my resources — but whatever the cause, it's adangerous place to be.
在某种程度上来说,这是计划不足和过度肯定的后果。——在耗尽我的储备以前,我要对现状重新做一次更实际的评估。——无论如何,这都是危险的情况。
A mistake that could be easily recoveredfrom under normal circumstances becomes overwhelming when you're too broke or too exhausted to respond adequately.
一个在正常情况下可以很容易被纠正的错误会在你精疲力尽不能对它作出适当反应的时候变得势不可挡。
