"You know I am a doctor," he explained, "and this shop is my medicine. I believe that every man must have a hobby that is as different from his regular work as it is possible to be. It is not good for a man to work all the time at one thing. So this is my hobby. This is my change. I like to putter away at these things. Every day I try to come down here for an hour or so. It rests me because it gives my mind a complete change. For, whether you believe it or not," he added with his inimitable chuckle, "to make a poem and to make a chair are two very different things."

白话

霍姆斯解释说,自己是医生,这间作坊就是他的药。他认为每个人都该有个和正职尽可能不同的爱好,因为一直干一件事对人不好。所以他每天尽量来这儿待一小时,摆弄这些木工活。这让他放松,因为脑子彻底换了频道。他还打趣说,写诗和做椅子是两码事。

上下文

霍姆斯医生在波士顿的家中有一间木工作坊,他常在那里做手工。博克来访时,他正以此为例说明爱好的重要性。

今日一问

你有没有一件与工作完全无关、能让你彻底换脑子的事?
