Allow your disappointment to form a pearl just as an oyster does when an irritating grain of sand gets inside its shell, but grab the pearl before the sand gets in your eyes.
把你的失望孕育成一枚珍珠，就像牡蛎对待一颗落入壳中的沙砾一样，但要在沙砾进入你的眼睛前抓紧珍珠。

On Roebuck Bay I come across a statue of a pregnant Aborigine woman, her armsdesperately rising out of a wave with a pearlshell in her hand.
在罗巴克湾我见到一座土著怀孕妇女的雕像，她奋力从海浪中高举双臂，手里拿着一只珍珠蚌壳。

Perhaps the sea's definition of a shell is the pearl.
