“原谅自己”常见的英文表达是 “forgive oneself” 。例如:
It's hard to forgive oneself for such a big mistake. (犯下这么大的错误,很难原谅自己。)
此外,“let oneself off the hook” 也有类似“放过自己(即原谅自己)”的意思,不过它更侧重于摆脱困境、不再自责或免除对自己的责任,使用语境略有不同。例如:
After failing the exam again, he decided to let himself off the hook and not be so hard on himself. (考试又一次没通过后,他决定原谅自己,不再那么苛责自己。)
