Kala Sarpa Yoga, or the 'serpent of time'. Things feel fated, for better or worse. Whether we are catapulted up the ladder or slide back down the snake, things feel as if they are outside our control.
卡拉薩爾帕瑜珈，或「時間之蛇」。(此期間)事情感覺是命定的，無論是吉或兇。無論我們是正在攀上階梯，或滑下蛇身，事情感覺都像是脫出我們之手所能控制。

...This is when we may feel like we are getting somewhere very fast initially, but then slip back down the snake to where we were, maybe even further back.
最初，我們或許感到正快速取得進展，卻緊接著滑落蛇身，回到一開始我們所在之處，或許甚至比從前更退後之處。

If you have a chronic condition yourself, you will be very familiar with this phenomenon. You start to feel better for a time, but then you slip back.
如果你自身有慢性疾病，你會對此這個比喻感到非常熟悉：你開始感覺好些了——而後滑落回去。

...Imagine we are all playing a giant Snakes and Ladders, and you will accept the twists and turns more easily.
想像我們都正在玩一場巨型的「蛇與梯子」遊戲，如此一來，你將能夠更輕鬆地接受這些轉彎跟屈繞。

And more importantly, you will understand that getting to the finish line will have its ups and downs; until we eventually make it there.
並且，更重要的，你會理解：要及於終點線必定會經歷起起伏伏；直至我們最終抵達那裏之前。
