the despair of overcoming chronic temptations 고질적인 유혹을 극복하기에 대한 좌절
I know all about the despair of overcoming chronic temptations.
It is not serious /provided (that) self-offended petulance, annoyance at breaking records, impatience etc. doesn’t get
the upper hand.
No amount of falls will really undo us /if we keep on [picking ourselves up /each time].
We shall of course be very muddy and tattered children /by the time () we reach home.
But the bathrooms are all ready, the towels put out, and the clean clothes are in the airing cupboard.
The only fatal thing is [to lose one’s temper and give it up].
It is when we notice the dirt //that God is most present to us:
it is the very sign of his presence.
* provided that ~ 한다는 조건하에
If you say that something will happen provided or provided that something else happens, you mean that the first thing will happen only if the second thing also happens. It should all work nicely, provided that nobody loses faith in the idea.
* petulant : insolent or rude in speech or behavior. 무례한
* 부사역할 명사구 each time 그때마다
* 형역 과분사 tattered 누더기가된
* 전목인 명사구 the time (that) we reach home.
* the towels (are) put out,
* 보어인 부정사구 [to lose one’s temper and give it up].
* 강조문 It is when we notice the dirt //that God is most present to us:
that절 내용의 일부인 부사절이 강조되어 앞에 쓰임
God is most present to us /when we notice the dirt.
* it is the very sign of his presence.에서 it는 앞 문장의 내용을 대신하는 대명사
* 우리 자신이 더럽다고 인식될 그때 하나님께서 우리에게 임재하신 때가 되는 것은
빛이신 하나님께서 거룩한 빛을 비추시기에 우리의 더러운 모습이 보이기 때문이다
