这就是生活！
<p>生活中难免有不如意的事情发生。就算你再愤怒，再无奈，有些事也是无法改变的。这个时候，只有安慰一下自己，接受现实，说一声：“<span word="That">That</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="way">way</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="ball">ball</span> <span word="bounces">bounces</span>”（这就是生活）。</p><p>这个习语源自20世纪50年代。从字面意思看，球就是这么弹起来的，也就是自然规律，于是引申为“这就是生活”。还有一个类似的说法叫“<span word="That">That</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="way">way</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="cookie">cookie</span> <span word="crumbles">crumbles</span>”，饼干就是这么碎的。不管是弹起的球，还是碎了的饼干，这些说法能够流传至今，应该归功于它们念起来朗朗上口——“<span word="ball">ball</span>”和“<span word="bounce">bounce</span>”都是“<span word="b">b</span>”开头，而“<span word="cookie">cookie</span>”和“<span word="crumbles">crumbles</span>”都是“<span word="c">c</span>”开头。</p><p>另外，还有一种说法是“<span word="That">That</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="way">way</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="goes">goes</span>”。不管是哪种说法，都流露着人们的无奈。</p><p>看下面例句：</p><p>--<span word="You">You</span> <span word="promised">promised</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="baby">baby</span>-<span word="sit">sit</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="night">night</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="Jean">Jean</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="party">party</span>?</p><p>你答应在珍妮开派对那天晚上看孩子？</p><p>--<span word="Oh">Oh</span>, <span word="well">well</span>, <span word="that">that</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="way">way</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="ball">ball</span> <span word="bounces">bounces</span>.</p><p>哎，没有办法呀。</p>
