Clarifying user request

I see the user has sent a quote in Chinese about someone's tough experience in Europe. The translation reads: "Trial in Europe was very tough back then; about a year living in an unknown world.” It feels like a news headline, but they haven't specified a task. I should ask how I can help them—whether they need a translation, summary, context, or something else. I'll offer options, like related quotes or an analysis of the person's career.
