35. A Sense of Security
第35課 安全感
Some people take the view that sometimes in life we have to take chances in order to make progress.
有些人認為我們一生中有時候必須冒險以求得進步。
I admire such people.
我很欽佩這種人。
It certainly takes courage to take risks.
冒險的確需要勇氣。
Maybe it's due to my upbringing, but I am the type who likes to play it safe.
或許是因為我所受的教養,我卻是那種行事謹慎以保安全的人。
People like me believe in the saying, " A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."
像我這種人相信俗話說的:“一鳥在手勝于兩鳥在林。”
Conservative as it may be, it keeps me out of trouble.
雖然這種想法也許很保守,但卻使我避免惹上麻煩。
I must confess, however, that such a lifestyle may, at times, be boring.
然而,我必須承認這種生活方式有時候可能很無聊。
Admittedly, my life is not half as colorful or exciting as other people's, but at least it gives me a sense of security.
不可否認地,我的生活雖不及別人生活一半的多彩多姿或刺激,但至少它能帶給我安全感。
