'That was not my blessing. That was somebody else's blessing.'" — Sara Stewart, The New York Post, 8 Dec. 2021

Did You Know?
If you're the sort of cheery soul who always looks on the bright side no matter what happens, you have a sanguine personality. Sanguine is the name of one of the temperaments that ancient and medieval scholars believed was caused by an abundance of one of the four humors. It comes from sanguineus—Latin for "of or relating to blood" or "bloody"—and over centuries has had meanings ranging from "bloodthirsty" and "bloodred" to "confidently optimistic."
如果你是那种无论发生什么事情都总是乐观向上的人，那么你就是乐观的性格。Sanguine 是古代和中世纪学者认为是由四种情绪其中一种的丰富而引发的。 它来自 sanguineus——拉丁语中“of or relating to blood「属于或与血有关」”或“bloody「血腥的」”的意思——几个世纪以来，它的含义从“bloodthirsty「嗜血」”、“bloodred「血腥」”再到了“confidently optimistic「自信乐观」”。
