你呀，哪来那么多愁善感。人生在世哪有一帆风顺没有挫折的，就像心电图啊，高低起伏才说明有活力。老人不是常说，“得之我幸，失之我命”，看开点儿，得失心别那么重，保持向上的姿态，那些烦心事就不足挂齿了。

Why so depressed? There's no such thing as a life that's all smooth sailing without any frustrations. It's like an ECG, it's only when there are ups and downs that you know you're alive. Don't old people always say, "to gain is luck, to lose is fate". Try to cheer up a bit, don't take gains and losses to heart. If you keep striving forward, your troubles aren't worth dwelling on.

That's right. At the same time, in terms of trade, the UK and Europe have always been interdependent, and half of the UK's trade volume comes from other European countries.
