35. 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。
