原文中文
虽然人人希冀时时幸运、平安、事事顺利,"万事如意",但这只不过是人们的良好愿望而已。所以我们应当在平安无事时保持清醒的头脑,顺利时要时刻想着困难、挫折,甚至打击会伴随而来,以便防范未来某种祸患的发生。
使用了祈使句的被动意义表达,'keep a clear head' 是固定习语,强调在特定情境下维持理智状态。
Although everyone hopes for constant luck, peace, and smooth sailing in all matters, wishing for "everything to go well" is merely a good aspiration. Therefore, We should keep a clear head when things are calm. During times of success, we must constantly anticipate the accompanying difficulties, setbacks, or even blows, so as to prevent potential future calamities.
