A Sense of Security 第35课 安全感 Some people take the view that sometimes in life we have to take chances in order to make progress. 有些人认为我们一生中有时候必须冒险以求得进步。 I admire such people. 我很钦佩这种人。 It certainly takes courage to take risks. 冒险的确需要勇气。 Maybe it's due to my upbringing, but I am the type who likes to play it safe. 或许是因为我所受的教养，我却是那种行事谨慎以保安全的人。 People like me believe in the saying, " A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." 像我这种人相信俗话说的：“一鸟在手胜于两鸟在林。” Conservative as it may be, it keeps me out of trouble. 虽然这种想法也许很保守，但却使我避免惹上麻烦。 I must confess, however, that such a lifestyle may, at times, be boring. 然而，我必须承认这种生活方式有时候可能很无聊。 Admittedly, my life is not half as colorful or exciting as other people's, but at least it gives me a sense of security. 不可否认地，我的生活虽不及别人生活一半的多彩多姿或刺激，但至少它能带给我安全感。
