I know my children are going to encounter hardship, and I’m praying they won’t be naive. There’s always a cold wind blowing somewhere. So I’m changing my prayer. Because life is tough, whether we want it to be or not.我们已祈祷了太多的安逸，但却少有实现。

单词提示：
encounter v. 遭遇. naive adj. 天真的

答案：Too many times we pray for ease, but that’s a prayer seldom met.本句节选自《Growing Roots》

1.前半句中祈祷某物最简练的表达就是pray for sth.
2.后一句中“少有”的表达，除了seldom，还可以用few,hardly,rarely来表达。
