APAD: The triumph of hope over experience

Meaning:

   A literal view of the subject of remarriage.

 

Background:

   This remark is reported to have been said by Samuel Johnson in James

   Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson, 1791. The occasion was Johnson's hearing of

   a man who had remarried soon after the death of a wife to whom he had been

   unhappily married.

Johnson voiced no judgment despite of knowing of the man's previous unhappy

marriage. Had the guy bailed out just before taking the plunge, as the character

Charles did in the film "Four Weddings and A Funeral," the sage lexicographer

would say experience knocked out hope in the last round.

Not a bad thing to have sth to dream of. 我同事曾有过两次婚姻，然后他又要结婚

然后所有人听到这个消息都摇头，似乎在预测一个definite fail，不过

直到现在还没看到预期结果。大约4,5年了

Come on 7G, we need hope in life ;-)) "We must accept finite

disappointment, but never lose infinite hope." - M.L.King,Jr

Others are entitled to their opinions. The couple only know.

Johnson sounds less like a demagogue :-)

haha, but Johnson'sWisdom mightNotApply 2everyone&everywhere

Sure. We are all exceptions :-)

I thought it's the other way around? :-))

My previous physiotherapist had four boys already.

The fifth child was finally a girl.

不懂

And they are from different mothers?

The guy's unhappy 1st marriage (experience) didn't prevent

him from marrying again (hope).

这个词是只用在再婚吗？前面还有个“胜利”。英文上下文怎么用呢？

another form: hope triumph experience

就是对下次婚姻寄与的希望胜过了上次（不幸）的经历。

奥，现在明白了，是hope over experience。over是超过的意思。

这里就是希望胜利的经历的意思了吧

希望战胜了经验

same mother.

对，可以这样理解。Over 是介词，跟Triumph.

triumph在这里是动词啊，我刚知道它可以用作动词

Hope over experience…

不畏将来，不念过往。如此，安好。

其实，任何单纯的名词只要没有对应的动词，就可以做动词，I bused

真的？那victory是吗？

A positive attitude!
