A threat

A commuter sitting on a subway train reading a paper back was so sprawled out in the seat that the woman next to him had very little room. When she asked if he could move a bit， he refused.

Just then， a man opposite them yelled： "Why don't you sit like a human being！"

"What are you going to do if I don't？" came the reply.

"Well， for one thing， I'll tell you how that book ends."

恐吓

一位跑地铁通勤的家伙四肢伸展地坐在座位上看着一本平装小说。他旁边的女士被挤得实在难忍，便要求稍微挪动一下，却遭到了他的拒绝。

这时，坐在对面的一位先生喊道：“你为什么不能像人一样坐着呢？”

“我就是不愿意，看你能把我怎么样？”

那个人回答说：“那好，只有一个办法了，我会告诉你这本书是怎样结的尾。”

Let Us Have Faith

（US） Helen Keller

Security is mostly a superstition.

It does not exist in nature，

nor do the children of men

as a whole experience it.

Avoiding danger is no safer

in the long run than outright exposure.

Life is either a daring adventure， or nothing.

To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits

in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.

让我们心怀信仰

[美]海伦·凯勒

安全大抵虚幻，

世间无处寻觅。

芸芸众生，

无人有此经历。

避险难计久长，

不如现身搏击。

抑或险中求胜，

抑或碌碌无为，

人生非此即彼。

让我们直面改变，

行如自由之灵，

翱翔命运天际，

是为不败之力。
