送給獨居讀者的建議
我的莫德姑婆曾獨自一人住在威爾士山區(qū)路邊的一座偏僻房子里多年，但是她從來就不擔心被襲擊或者被搶劫，因為她設(shè)計了一種獨特的方式來保護自己。她把一頂警官的帽子掛在房子的門廳里，從前門就可以看到。自然地，拜訪這座房子的人立刻就能注意到這頂帽子，就會認為這里住著一位警官。莫德姑婆從來就沒有受到門前踩點的歹徒的滋擾，這些人通常會來到房子門口探測這家是否可以盜竊。她感到很安全。
她去世后，她的房子給清空了，那頂警官帽子被打包裝進了手提箱內(nèi)，被大家遺忘了。幾天前，我偶然又看到了這頂帽子，想起了莫德姑婆的方法。我把它掛在大廳里的木栓上，門一開來訪者就能看到。有帽子在這兒，我確實感到安全有了保障。
Lesson5 A Tip for Readers Living Alone
For years my Great Aunt Maud lived alone in a remote cottage beside a road in the Welsh hills. Yet she was never afraid of being attacked or robbed because she had devised a unique way of protecting herself. Hanging in the lobby of her house, and visible from the front door was a policeman's hat. Naturally anyone calling at the house immediately noticed the hat and assumed that there was a policeman living there. Aunt Maud never had any trouble from doorstep dodgers or people calling at the house to try and find out if it was worth burgling. She felt quite safe.
After her death, her cottage was cleared out, and the policeman's hat was packed away in a suitcase and forgotten. Just the other day I came across it, and remembering Aunt Maud's idea, I hung it on a peg in the hall for any caller to see as soon as the door opens. I really feel safe and snug now that it's there!
