Only one gets carried away, one begins to expect things, and when it turns out badly one forgets that one ought to have expected that, instead of lamenting and quarrelling as if it were a catastrophe tumbled down from heaven."
Seulement, on se grise, on se met a espérer des choses, et quand ça tourne mal, on oublie qu'on devait s'y attendre, on se lamente et on se dispute comme devant une catastrophe tombée du ciel.
