Self-distrust is the cause of most of our failures
Self-distrust is the cause of most of our failures.我们绝大多数的失败都是因为缺乏自信的缘故。
Distrust - a feeling that you cannot trust someone，不信任，怀疑。Have a distrust of somebody / something，对某人(某事)怀疑。Self-distrust，就是缺乏自信的意思。与之想反的是，self-confidence 充满自信。由self-结构组成的词组还有很多，比如：self-dramatizing 自吹自擂的；self-educated 自学的；self-financing 自筹经费；self-glorifying 自命不凡的；等等。
Cause，原因。the cause of，是导致...的原因。
Failure，是动词fail的名词形式，解释为失败。Failure is the mother of success.失败是成功之母。也可以解释为失败的人；失败的尝试：He is a failure as an artist.他是个失败的艺术家。Fail表示失败或不能；忘记。Don't fail to ring me up.不要忘记给我打电话。
这个谚语就告诉我们在做任何一件事情的时候我们都要充满自信。
