The word resilience has appeared in 1,286 articles on NYTimes.com in the past year, including on Dec. 5 in "Looking to the Past to Find My Future," by Natalia Lafourcade. Ms. Lafourcade is a musician and songwriter who recorded the album "Cancionera." She writes:

“韧性” 一词在过去一年里，登上了《纽约时报》官网 1286 篇文章，其中就包括 12 月 5 日娜塔莉亚・拉福卡德的作品《回望过往，寻觅未来》。拉福卡德是音乐人兼词曲作者，她推出了专辑《歌集》，并在文中写道：

In an era of artificial intelligences and digital worlds, our greatest challenge will be preserving the tangible, human connection we need to flourish. That is why "Cancionera" is much more than an album to me. It is an act of resilience, a way of returning to myself, to my voice. It is a gesture of defense against a world that sweeps us toward the superficial, an attempt — valiant and sometimes inelegant — to live honestly in this present that washes everything away.

身处人工智能与数字浪潮席卷的时代，我们最大的挑战，是守护好那份赖以成长的、真切可感的人际联结。正因如此，《歌集》于我而言早已超越了一张专辑的意义。它是一场韧性之举，是我回归自我、回归本声的路径；是抵御浮华世界的抗争姿态，是一次勇敢却偶显拙朴的尝试 —— 在这个万物皆被冲刷殆尽的当下，赤诚地活着。

Songs save. Songs shelter. And, above all, they remind us of who we are.

歌以救赎，歌以庇护。而最珍贵的是，歌曲让我们铭记，自己究竟是谁
