"Now," he continued, "if you think you can learn something from me, learn that and remember it when you are a man. Don't keep always at your business, whatever it may be. It makes no difference how much you like it. The more you like it, the more dangerous it is. When you grow up you will understand what I mean by an 'outlet'--a hobby, that is--in your life, and it must be so different from your regular work that it will take your thoughts into an entirely different direction. We doctors call it a safety-valve, and it is. I would much rather," concluded the poet, "you would forget all that I have ever written than that you should forget what I tell you about having a safety-valve."

白话

霍姆斯接着告诫博克:如果你觉得能从我这儿学到什么,就记住这一点——无论你多爱自己的事业,都别一直泡在里面。越喜欢越危险。长大后会明白,人需要一个“出口”,也就是爱好,而且必须和正职截然不同,能把思绪引向另一个方向。医生管这叫“安全阀”,确实如此。他宁愿博克忘掉他所有的诗,也要记住这个安全阀的道理。

上下文

霍姆斯是医生兼诗人,他用自己的木工爱好向博克说明工作与休闲平衡的道理。这段话是博克此次拜访最重要的收获。

今日一问

你的“安全阀”是什么?如果还没有,这周能开始找一个吗?
