we
are
still
underestimating
are
the
ones
that
have
suddenly
become
salient.
不过，
如果认为我
们目前仍然低估的只是那些突然间引人注目的风险，
那是非常
愚
蠢的。

1
、
It
is
a
cliche,as
it
is
to
take
of
apocalypse
and
nightmare,
but
when
somet
hing
is
beyond
our
experience,we
reach
for
the
points
of
reference
we
have.
说到世界末日和噩梦又是老生常谈，
但是当事情超出我们的经验时，
我们总会寻
找现有的
东西作为参照。
2
、
Lest
you
should
ever
forget
the
smallness
of
being
human,
the
iconic
Mou
nt
Fuji,
instantly
recognizable
yet
somehow
different
on
every
viewing
is
an
e
xtinct
volcano.
唯恐你会忘记作为人类的渺小，
标志性的富士山，
一眼即能认出但不知何故每次
观看又呈现出不同景象，就是一座死火山。
3
、
It
surprised
me,
over
the
following
months
that
the
gas
attack
seemed
to
d
ominate
the
national
media
coverage,
whereas
Kobe,
after
the
initial
weeks
of
horrifying
footage,
slipped
somewhat
into
the
background.
在随后的几个月里，让我吃惊的是毒
气攻击似乎占据了国家媒体报道的主要内
容，而神户大地震经过了最初几周骇人听闻的电
视报道后，已经退居次位了。

、
Rather
than
immersing
ourselves
in
the
language
of
horror
films
and
the
en
d
of
the
world,
when
the
time
is
right
to
try
to
glimpse
this
new
territory,
we
might
for
thought
reach
for
a
book
by
Japan
’
s
most
popular
contemporary
no
velist.
我们不能沉浸在
恐怖片和世界末日的语言中，
在合适的时间，
如果想要了解这一
新的领域，我们可以考虑看看日本最流行的现代小说家的一本书。
5
、
But
we
should
resist
the
temptation
to
imagine
panicking
hordes
buying
up
all
the
food
and
fleeing
the
capital
as
the
next
part
of
our
horror
narrative.
但是，
我们不
应该总想着成群结对恐慌的人们抢空所有食物，
逃离首都，
把这
些
当成是恐怖故事的下一个情节。
Lesson4
1
、
Bill
Clinton
was
hard
to
miss
in
the
autumn
of
1970.
He
arrived
at
Yale
Law
School
looking
more
like
a
Viking
than
a
Rhodes
Scholar
returning
from
two
years
at
Oxford.
He
was
tall
and
handsome
somewhere
beneath
that
redd
ish
brown
beard
and
curly
mane
of
hair.
He
also
had
a
vitality
that
seemed
to
shoot
out
of
his
pores.
When
I
first
saw
him
in
the
law
school’s
student
lou
nge,
he
was
holding
forth
before
a
rapt
audience
of
fellow
student.
1970
年秋天，你想不注意比尔
.
克林顿也不容易。他来到耶鲁大学法学院时，
看上去像一个北欧
海盗，
而不像一个在牛津大学呆了两年后回国的罗兹奖学金获
得
者。
他身材高大，
他那棕红色的胡子和卷曲而浓密的头发使他显
得很帅气。
他
浑身充满了活力。
当我第
一次在法学院的学生休息室里见到他时，
他正对着一帮
全神贯注
的同学滔滔不绝地讲着什么。
2
、
The
way
Bill
tells
the
story,
he
couldn
’
t
remember
his
own
name.
在比尔讲述这段事情的版本中，他说他当时都想不
起来自己叫什么名字了。
3
、
To
this
day,
he
can
astonish
me
with
the
connections
he
weaves
between
i
deas
and
words
and
how
he
makes
it
all
sound
like
music.
直到现在我还常为他敏捷的思维和恰如其份的用
词，
以及他如何能够将要表达的
思想说得那么动听而感到惊讶不
已。
4
、
One
of
the
first
things
I
noticed
about
Bill
was
the
shape
of
his
hands.
Hi
s
wrists
are
narrow
and
his
fingers
tapered
and
deft,
like
those
of
a
pianist
or
a
surgeon.
When
we
first
met
as
students,
I
loved
watching
him
turn
the
pag
