2. This coyness about sex is a crime, and China does not even have the
inane excuse of the Christians for whom sex is, laughably, a sin.
这种对性的羞涩是一种犯罪,而中国甚至连一个像基督教一样,可笑的把性本身当成一种罪恶的空洞的借口都没有。
3. If we become self-conscious about silence then we begin to work against it. We rush to fill it with
inane talks and nervous gestures, and the silence loses its value.
如果我们开始的时候就保持沉默,接着我们就会开始迫不及待地进行无意义的谈话和作出紧张的手势,沉默就失去了它原有的价值。
