已然

yǔ qí bǔ jiù yú yǐ rán bù rú fáng zhǐ yú wèi rán

与其补救于已然，不如防止于未然。

Rather than remedy what is already happening, it is better to prevent it before it happens.

shì qing yǐ rán rú cǐ bié fàng zài xīn shang

事情已然如此，别放在心上。

Such being the case, don't take it to heart.

tā zuì wēn róu de ài fǔ huì ràng tā yǐ rán jǐn bēng de shēn tǐ biàn de niǔ qū

她最温柔的爱抚会让他已然紧绷的身体变得扭曲。

The gentlest of her caresses would contort his already tense body.

tā de mù guāng yǐ rán huàn sàn yóu lí yú qún xīng zhī jiān

他的目光已然涣散，游离于群星之间。

His eyes have been wandering between the stars.
