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."

恐嚇

一位跑地鐵通勤的家伙四肢伸展地坐在座位上看著一本平裝小說。他旁邊的女士被擠得實在難忍，便要求稍微挪動一下，卻遭到了他的拒絕。

這時，坐在對面的一位先生喊道：“你為什么不能像人一樣坐著呢？”

“我就是不愿意，看你能把我怎么樣？”

那個人回答說：“那好，只有一個辦法了，我會告訴你這本書是怎樣結的尾。”

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.

讓我們心懷信仰

[美]海倫·凱勒

安全大抵虛幻，

世間無處尋覓。

蕓蕓眾生，

無人有此經歷。

避險難計久長，

不如現身搏擊。

抑或險中求勝，

抑或碌碌無為，

人生非此即彼。

讓我們直面改變，

行如自由之靈，

翱翔命運天際，

是為不敗之力。
