In the life midway, I discovered I have already lost the right way, entered a dark forest.This is because I have lost the correct way.Said this picture also is how difficult!How but has to talk about me to turn bad luck into good in there is out of danger,
I am unable among to explain how I am march into,
（我走过我们人生的一半旅程,却又步入一片幽暗的森林,这是因为我迷失了正确的路径.啊!这森林是多么荒野,多么险恶,多么举步维艰!道出这景象又是多么困难!现在想起也仍会毛骨悚然,尽管这痛苦的煎熬不如丧命那么悲惨；是要谈到我在那里如何逢凶化吉而脱险,我还要说一说我在那里对其他事物的亲眼所见.我无法说明我是如何步入其中,我当时是那样睡眼蒙胧,竟然抛弃正路,不知何去何从.）
