Operating high-pressure boilers can be stressful—like the time my co-worker and I discovered a dangerous leak in a boiler. Scorching steam was billowing out, filling up the room and decreasing visibility. “I hope this doesn't get any bigger,” I said. “I don't want this steam to be the last thing I see in this world.” “That wouldn't be so bad,” my coworker replied. “So long as it's not the first thing you see in the next.”
操作高壓鍋爐是很緊張的,就像我和我的同事發(fā)現(xiàn)鍋爐上有一處危險的滲漏那一次。滾燙的蒸汽滾滾而來,充滿屋子,使能見度下降。我說:“希望不要再繼續(xù)擴大。我不希望這蒸汽是我在這個世界里看到的最后的東西?!蔽业耐禄卮鹫f:“只要這蒸汽不是在下一個世界里看到的第一樣?xùn)|西,就還不算太糟?!?
