compose oneself  v.鎮靜

Clementine concluded by citing a French proverb, “One can reign over hearts only by keeping one’s composure.” Winston got the message and found ways to make amends. As his private secretary, Jock Colville, later recalled, “When he was at No. 10 there was always laughter in the corridors, even in the darkest and most difficult times.”

克萊門汀最後引用一句法國諺語說：「一個人唯有保持沉著，才能統治人心。」溫斯頓聽懂了，並且設法改正了自己。就像他的私人秘書賈克．柯維爾後來追憶時所說的，「當他在唐寧街十號時，走廊總會有笑聲，即便是在最黑暗和最困難的時期。」
