根本沒有力氣重新開始。在憂郁的日子里，你可能變成偏執(zhí)狂，覺得每個人都想要吃定你。其實情況并不總是那么糟。你感到灰心、焦慮，可能開始神經(jīng)質(zhì)地拼命咬指甲，然后不可救藥地陷入一眨眼吃掉三大塊巧克力蛋糕的瘋狂！在憂郁的日子里，你會覺得自己在悲傷的海里沉沉浮浮。不論在什么時候，你總有種想哭的沖動，卻不知道為了什么。最后，你覺得自己猶如行尸走肉，失去生活目標。Culturaleventswillunfoldeachyear,from2005to2008.Wewillstagemulti-disciplinedculturalprograms,suchasconcerts,exhibitions,artcompetitionsandcampswhichwillinvolveyoungpeoplefromaroundtheworld.DuringtheOlympics,theywillbestagedintheOlympicVillageandthecityforthebenefitoftheathletes.
