get by困难

“The future comes at us like empty bottles along an unstoppable and nearly infinite conveyor belt,” writes Gary Eberle in his book Sacred Time, and “we feel a pressure to fill these different-sized bottles (days, hours, minutes) as they pass, for if they get by without being filled, we will have wasted them.”

加里·埃伯利在他的《神圣时间》一书中写道：“未来像一个个空瓶子沿着一条无法停止、几乎无限长的传送带向我们涌来”，并且“我们感到一种压力，要在这些大小不一的瓶子（日、时、分）经过时将其装满，因为如果它们未被装满就溜走了，我们就浪费了它们。”
