身处沟渠，仰望星空。
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
— Oscar Wilde
【English explanation】
Oscar Wilde captures a fundamental truth about the human condition: no matter how low our circumstances, we retain the choice of perspective. Being stuck in the gutter — whether through hardship, failure, or despair — is an external reality; what defines us is not our position but what we choose to focus on. Those who look upward keep hope alive, nurture ambition, and refuse to let their environment dictate their destiny. The stars represent possibility, beauty, and aspiration — always visible if we lift our eyes.
【中文解读】
奥斯卡·王尔德道出了人性的一个根本真相：无论处境多么不堪，我们仍有选择视角的自由。陷于沟渠——无论是因困境、失败还是绝望——是外在的现实；定义我们的不是所处的位置，而是我们选择关注什么。仰望星空的人让希望长存，培育志向，拒绝让环境决定命运。星星代表着可能、美好与追求——只要我们抬头，它们永远可见。
