与其诅咒黑暗，不如自己点根蜡烛。

Instead of cursing the darkness than lit the candle.

我敢断定，这种情况下我们是点不了蜡烛了，哪怕一根。

I could tell that we were not going to light even one candle.

点一根蜡烛，照着镜子梳头发或者吃苹果，就能看见你未来的丈夫出现在你身后。 。

Take a candle and look into a mirror whilst combing your hair or eating an apple. Your future husband will appear peeking over your shoulder.
