But almost as good as returning home at day’s end is the exhilarating business of faring晚安，永远美好的明天 067forth then. There is no better time to take atrain to the city than in the precious intervalbetween day and night，when the blue airseems strung with excitement，almost tastingof adventure. Or to walk in a quiet countrylane as the sparrows cheep sleepily，andnight insects awaken to begin a fine musicalclamor. Listen to that cricket！
Meanwhile，nearly forgotten，the lastlovely light of day is caught on a pond andbehind a hill，back of your barn and aroundthe corner. But when you look again，it willbe gone.
To go out…to go somewhere and meetthe evening…
我还记得在很小的时候，有一天妈妈带我逛集市，我迷了路。我焦急地寻找妈妈的身影，却一无所获，只好自己摸索着回家的道路。我踉跄地从一条街走到另一条街，希望能撞见熟悉的东西。但是，到处都是气势汹汹、令人害怕的陌生房子。
胆小的我不敢去敲响任何一扇门，只好跌跌撞撞地走近街角的空地，蜷缩在一棵树旁，疲惫地睡着了。
黄昏的时候，我醒了。黑夜的第一片投影正缓缓地渗入左邻右舍。烟囱与068 不畏将来，不念过往屋顶沐浴在薄暮淡淡的余晖中，散发着粉色的光晕。天空已沉淀成那种澄郁参半、接近夜色的深蓝。第一颗明星出现了，啊，我最信赖的许愿星出现在了它一直坚守的位置。
一瞬间，我的世界豁然开朗。这一刻充满着魔力：人们虔诚地许愿，洗去一脸辛劳，父亲们回到家中，婴孩们欢快地洗澡。黄昏，这是多么温馨友好的时光啊。
于是，我毫不犹豫地冲向最近的一户人家，用力敲门。不到一个小时，我就被平安送回了家中。
父母问我，为什么等了这么久才去寻求帮助。我无法解释清楚，至今也不能。
只能说黄昏的魔力依然影响着我，依然能抚平我的恐惧，振奋我的精神。一到黄昏，我就会变得更有胆量。
灯亮起来了，那就让我们只说说友善可亲的灯光吧。你是否也曾在晚冬的傍晚漫步归家，天空暗沉，漫天飘雪，不经意间，街灯静静地亮起来，让你惊喜不已？
它们就像瞬息万变的天使，守护在你身旁，让你安心轻松地走完回家的路。
黄昏是归家的时候，是饥肠辘辘享用晚餐的时候，劳利·李曾兴奋地描述过他在英国乡村的童年生活：“一天过完了，我们结束了四处跑腿、在乡野间横冲乱撞的一天，兴冲冲地回到了厨房，那个炊烟腾腾、温暖舒适的地方。奔跑在回家的小路上，每一块踢到的石头都让我浑身的骨头带着回家的喜悦而震颤。”
但是，在美丽的黄昏时刻出发，开始一段新的旅程，也像归家一样令人欢喜雀跃。在白天到黑夜那一段时间里，暗蓝的天空洋溢着无限激动，你乘着火车抵达城市，开始享受探险的乐趣，没有比这更美妙的事了。或者，漫步于宁静的乡间小径，麻雀在树上一边吱吱细语一边打着瞌睡，夜虫初醒，兴奋地在准备一场奇妙音乐会。快听，那蟋蟀正在高歌呢！
此刻，你差点忘了那可爱的落日余晖。它倒映在池塘里，躲藏在小山和你家谷仓的背后，或是流连于一个偏僻的小角落。但是等你再去寻觅，它却早已消失得无影无踪了。
出去吧……到某处与黑夜相会……

Crabs in the Cage
笼中之蟹
There is a type of crab thatcannot be caught-it is agile andclever enough to get out of any crabtrap. And yet，these crabs are caughtby the thousands every day，thanksto a particular human trait theypossess.
The trap is a wire cage witha hole at the top. Bait is placed inthe cage，and the cage is lowered intothe water. One crab comes along，entersthe cage，and begins munching on the bait. Asecond crab joins him. A third...
Eventually，however，all the bait is gone. The crabs could easily climb up the side of thecage and through the hole，but they do not. They stay in the cage. Other crabs come along andjoin them-long after the bait is gone. And more.
Should one of the crabs realize there is no further reason to stay in the trap and attemptto leave，the other crabs will gang up on him and stop him. They will repeatedly pull himoff the side of the cage. If he is persistent，the others will tear off his claws to keep him fromclimbing. If he persists still，they will killhim.
The crabs-by force of the majority-stay together in the cage. The cage ishauled up，and it’s dinner time on the pier.
The chief difference between thesecrabs and humans is that these crabs live inwater and humans on land.
Anyone who has a dream-one thatmight get them out of what they perceiveto be a trap-had best beware of the fellowinhabitants of the trap.
The human crabs (we call them trolls) do not usually use physical force-althoughthey are certainly not above it. They generally don’t need it，however. They have moreeffective methods at hand，and in mouth-doubt，ridicule，sarcasm，humiliation，and dozens ofothers not listed in our dictionary.
The point is to manage to keep the trolls away from your goals.
在梦想的道路上，要设法远离小人。
陈梓 译
有一种螃蟹无法被捕获-因为它既敏捷又聪明，能逃出任何捕蟹陷阱。然而，由于它们拥有一种特殊的人类心理特征，每天，成千上万的这种螃蟹被捕获。
陷阱是一个顶部有一个洞的铁丝笼。诱饵放置在笼子里，再把笼子放入水里较低的地方。一只螃蟹过来，入笼，并开始津津有味地咀嚼诱饵。第二只螃蟹加入它的行列，第三只……
最后，所有的诱饵都吃完了。螃蟹本来可以很容易地爬上笼子的顶端，穿过那个洞晚安，永远美好的明天 071出去，但是它们不会这么做。它们就呆在笼子里，而其他螃蟹也一起进来加入它们的行列-即使诱饵早已被吃完。于是，螃蟹越聚越多。
也许有一只螃蟹意识到没有理由再留在陷阱里，所以试图离开，但是其他的螃蟹会联合起来对付它，阻止它。它们一定会一而再、再而三地把它推向笼子的另一端。如果它坚持要出去，别的螃蟹将会撕下它的爪子来阻止它爬行。如果它依然坚持，它们会杀了它。
这些螃蟹-迫于大多数螃蟹的武力-同它们一起呆在笼子里。笼子被拽上来时，正是码头上的晚餐时间。
螃蟹和人类的主要区别是：这些螃蟹生活在水里，而人类生活在陆地上。
任何一个有梦想的人-其中一个梦想可能是想要摆脱已觉察到的困境-应当提防困境中的伙伴。
人类中的螃蟹（我们称之为小人）通常不会使用身体武力-虽然他们的行为不比螃蟹高明多少。他们一般不需要这种方法，但是，他们有更加有效的方法在手，用嘴-质疑、嘲笑、讽刺、屈辱，还有许许多多没有列在词典内的方法。
关键是要设法让小人远离你的目标。

The List
一张清单
I wouldn’t have picked up thepiece of paper if I hadn’t seen thosebig red words at the top： DON’TFORGET. After all，the paper wascovered with dusty footprints，andI had to lean way out from my deskto reach it in the aisle. But I wascurious. Don’t forget what？
The paper was thick like apostcard and about the same size.
Under the big red DON’T FORGET，there were three numbered items printed inpencil. 1. Snow peas 2. Shakespeare 3. Paul Kuhlman.
I stared at the list，a chill sweeping over me. What was my name doing on someone’s list？
And what was it that this person wanted to remember about me？ After all，no one here knewanything about me，except that I was born in Iran，grew up in New York，and had just movedto Chicago. That’s all Mrs. Allison had told the class when she introduced me yesterday. Andno one had really spoken to me since then，except for the boy with glasses who asked if hecould have my brownie at lunch.
I looked around，but no one looked back. Everyone seemed focused on the test that Mrs.
Allison was handing out. I took my copy of the test from the girl infront of me and passed the rest back. But after I put my name at the topof the page，my mind went blank. I should know the answers. My classin New York had already covered decimals. But all I could see was 3.
Paul Kuhlman. What did it mean？
After the test，I tried to concentrate on our science lesson. ButI heard the same words over and over in my mind. Snow peas，Shakespeare，and me.
“Paul.” I jumped when Mrs. Allison called my name. “It’s time toline up for lunch.”
