Better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.

与其诅咒黑暗，不如燃起蜡烛。

Sitting in the darkness and waiting for others to light the candle, that may be the life style I really want to live.

But if no one can light the candle for you, what should you do?

Rather than waiting for others to give the right direction, I had better to find the right direction.

There are many ways, there are numerous possiblities.

If you think you are destined to failure, why not just have a try?

 

OED wears its status with a magisterial self-assurance, not least by giving its half million definitions a robustly Victorian certitude of tone.

牛津英语词典以一种威严的自信来显示他的重要地位，他以维多利亚时代那种坚决肯定的语气来给五十万个词汇下了定义。
