    12.Butterfly Insights 蝴蝶見解
    A marvelous lesson appeared for me just now as I was exiting through the garage.
    剛才正當(dāng)我把車開出車庫之時(shí),一堂精彩絕倫的課展示在我眼前。
    As I opened the garage door, I startled a large moth, which, upon spreading its wings, displayed a bright red "tail" hidden by the motley brown wings, more a "butterfly" than a moth.
    當(dāng)我打開車庫的門時(shí),我嚇壞了一只大蛾子。當(dāng)它展開翅膀時(shí),夾雜著其他顏色的褐色翅膀下露出了鮮紅色的“尾巴”,它更像是一只蝴蝶,而不是蛾子。
    It flew immediately to its perceived escape, the circle-topped window where it frantically tried to exit thru the invisible wall of closed glass.
    它立即朝自己認(rèn)為是出口的地方飛去,瘋狂地想穿過圓頂窗上透明的密封玻璃逃出去。
    I raised the third-car garage door in hopes of aiding its escape. That caused it to fly higher and higher and become entangled in a spider web. Fearful that it would remain entangled in the web, I selected a long-handled broom to assist him escaping the tangled threads.
    為了幫它逃出去,我把車庫的第三扇門打開。但這使它飛得越來越高,一頭扎在一個蜘蛛網(wǎng)上。我擔(dān)心它會一直被纏在蜘蛛網(wǎng)上,就拿了一個長柄掃把幫它擺脫蜘蛛網(wǎng)。
    At this, he returned to furiously pumping his wings and banging into the glass, which was, in his perspective, the pathway of escape, but remained his cage.
    一擺脫蜘蛛網(wǎng),它就猛烈地?fù)亜映岚?,撞到它認(rèn)為是逃生之路的玻璃上,但是無濟(jì)于事,仍然被困在里面。
    By simply turning his focus to one side, he would have easily exited his prison. Rather, due to his intent on one direction, he remained confined, captive.
    如果簡單地把注意力轉(zhuǎn)向另一面,它也許已經(jīng)輕而易舉地逃出去了,但是由于它的執(zhí)迷不悟要從一個方面逃出去,它仍然身陷囹圄。
