有個關於在 歐洲座落於高空好幾百英尺懸涯高處的修道院故事。
The only way to reach the monastery was to be suspended in a basket which was pulled to the top by several monks who pulled and tugged with all their strength .
到達修道院。唯一的方法，就是被懸吊在由數名修道士用盡他們全力拖拉到山頂的籃子裏。
Obviously the ride up the steep cliff in that basket was terrifying.
很明顯的，乘坐籃子爬上陡峭的懸崖是相當令人害怕的。
One tourist got exceedingly nervous about half-way up as he noticed that the rope by which he was suspended was old and frayed.
有位旅客約在半途中，注意到懸掛他的繩子很老舊而且被磨損時，心中感到極度緊張不安。
With trembing voice,he asked the monked who was riding with him in the basket how often they changed the rope.
他用顫抖的聲音詢問與他一同乘坐在籃子裏的修道士，他們多久換繩子一次。
The monk thought for a moment and answered brusquely,"Whenever it breaks."
修道士想了一會，然後粗率地回答：“繩子斷掉時。”
