For the translation of the quotation from Ouyang, "溺" is to me closer to "wallow", which indicates some out of control, than "enjoy" in meaning.

"Wallow" has a meaning of lying in water or mud, how nice a coincidence it is.

I thought for a moment, and changed it to "fascinate". You are right that "enjoy" is too light. I have never used "wallow" myself, and I cannot tell if it is more appropriate here, although I agree the coincidence is nice.

Me neither. I encountered this word when I was searching for a word heavier than "enjoy". You are right, it`s better to use familiar words.

Thanks for your posts on "career crisis". Some of your experience resonated with me.

又发现本好书，Deep Work。新的大作什么时候揭开帷幕，去你github上嗅了嗅没能发现蛛丝马迹。

再过一两个月吧。

在时间管理方面，《深度工作》可以说是我找到的对我最合适的解药。其实我也就只需要确认一点：不用回复所有人，不必有负罪感。

Your advise on fixing the following problem will be appreciated. I tried a couple approaches to fix it already but the issue doesn't seem to be resolved.

Yihui, you are a thoughtful person, and deep in many regards. You care about things that others seem to gloss over. I hope to meet you someday and carry a short conversation.

Keep writing. Keep working.
