You can't change your elephant by direct force, but you can train it over time.

你不能通过直接的力量改变你的大象，但你可以随着时间的推移训练它。

The elephant is where the action is. The rider is there to serve the elephant.

大象才是行动的所在。骑手的存在是为了服务大象。

Happiness comes from between. It is not something that you can find, acquire, or achieve directly. You have to get the conditions right and then wait.

幸福来自之间。它不是你可以直接找到、获得或实现的东西。你必须创造合适的条件，然后等待。

The mind is divided into parts that sometimes conflict. Like a rider on the back of an elephant, the conscious, reasoning part of the mind has only limited control over the automatic, emotional part.

心灵分为有时会相互冲突的部分。就像骑在大象背上的骑手，意识、推理的心灵部分对自动、情感的部分只有有限的控制。
