• 第2章第3节优劣判断（P 188） 1、A is the best. To take a statement with "a grain of salt" or "a pinch of salt" means to accept it but to maintain a degree of skepticism about its truth. Thus, "a grain of salt" means a bit of common sense and skepticism. Example: I would take anything I read in the paper with a grain of salt. The idea comes from the fact that food is more easily swallowed if taken with a small amount of salt. The figurative meaning is that truth may require moderation by the notional application of "a grain of salt.“

I am lonely only when I am overtired, when I have worked too long without a break, when for the time being I feel empty and need filling up. And I am lonely sometimes when I come back home after a lecture trip, when I have seen a lot of people and talked a lot, and am full to the brim with experience that needs to be sorted out. • Then for a little while the house feels huge and empty, and I wonder where my self is hiding. It has to be recaptured slowly by watering the plants and perhaps, by looking again at each one as though it were a person. • It takes a while, as I watch the surf blowing up in fountains, but the moment comes when the world falls away, and the self emerges again from the deep unconscious, bringing back all I have recently experienced to be explored and slowly 10 understood.
• 为什么译为“结果”，而不是“效果”，也不是“后 果”？ • “结果”，是中性的表达。 • it gets caught，“被抓受罚”。
