1. 我的大学老师在50岁的时候，成为全国著名的清词领域专家。在博士生的时候，他读的是古典文学，并且还涉猎一些古今中外的小说作品，没有什么成绩。后来，他集中研究古代诗词，阅读各种各样的名人著作，但还是没有什么成果。最后，他放弃了其他所有的领域，集中所有的精力研究清代的词作，除了清词之外，不及其余，最后在这个领域首屈一指，无人可及。

1. My college teacher became a nationally renowned expert in the field of Qing poetry at the age of 50. During his doctoral studies, he focused on classical literature and dabbled in novels from ancient, modern, and foreign origins, but achieved little. Later, he concentrated on ancient poetry and prose, reading works by various famous figures, yet still saw no significant achievements. In the end, he abandoned all other fields, devoting all his energy to studying Qing dynasty poetry. Outside of Qing poetry, he had no other expertise. He eventually became the number one authority in this field, surpassing all others.

7. 人生既有脚底下非常平坦的大路，也有坎坷崎岖的小路。走大路的人特别多，特别拥挤，特别热闹，或许你身边的人都在走大路，几乎就没人愿意走小路，因为要爬坡上坎，披荆斩棘，还会有不小心坠落的风险。

7. Life has both smooth and flat roads beneath one's feet, and also winding and rugged paths. There are many people walking the broad roads, which are particularly crowded and lively.

11. However, the main road is often impassable, and the vast majority of people are destined for a life of mediocrity, as a comfortable environment does not breed successful individuals. The path less traveled, on the other hand, can allow you to reach the summit very quickly and survey the more magnificent and grand landscapes of the world.

13. Stepping over the river by myself, perhaps I can also make it across, but the process will be slow, the cost will be high, the risks will be many, and I might even be engulfed by the river currents, leading to irreversible consequences.
