Ted 演讲标题：处乱不惊 A few years ago, I broke into my own house. I had just driven home, it was around midnight in the dead of Montreal winter, I had been visiting my friend, Jeff, across town, and the thermometer on the front porch read minus 40 degrees, and don’t bother asking if that’s Celsius or Fahrenheit, minus 40 is where the two scales meet, it was very cold. And as I stood on the front porch fumbling in my pockets, I found I didn’t have my keys. In fact, I could see them through the window, lying on the dining room table where I had left them. So I quickly ran around and tired all the other doors and windows and they were locked tight. I thought about calling a locksmith at least I had my cellphone, but at midnight, it could take a while for a locksmith to show up and it was cold. I couldn’t go back to my friend Jeff’s house for the night because I had an early flight to European the next morning, and I need to get my passport and my suitcase. So, desperate and freezing cold, I found a large rock and I broke through the basement window, clear out the shards of glass, I crawled through, I found a piece of cardboard and taped it up over the opening, figuring that in the morning, on the way to the airport, I could call my contractor and ask him to fix it. This was going to be expensive, but probably no more expensive than a middle-of-the-night locksmith, so Ifigure, under the circumstances, Iwas coming out even. 几年前，我闯进了我自己的房子。那时我开车回到了家，那时大概是半夜，蒙特利尔的寒冬， 我去了另一个小镇拜访我的朋友，杰夫，前廊的温度是零下40 度，不要浪费时间去问是华 氏还是摄氏了，零下40 度时，这两种温度都差不多，非常的冷。我站在前廊摸索我的口袋， 我发现我没带钥匙。事实上，我可以透过窗户看到它们，就在餐桌上，之前我把他们放在那 里了。于是我很快的围着房子绕了一圈，试了所有的门和窗，它们都被牢牢锁着。我想去找 一个锁匠，至少我有手机在身边，但是半夜时分，锁匠要过一段时间才能来。天很冷。我也 不能大晚上的回到我的朋友杰夫家里去，因为第二天早上我要坐飞机去欧洲，我需要拿到我 的护照和行李。所以，在绝望与严寒中，我找到了一块大石头，通过打碎地下室的窗户闯进 了家，我清理了玻璃碎片，爬进去，我找到一块纸板，把它挡在窗户窟窿上，想着第二天早 上在去机场的路上，我可以给我的承包商打电话让他去修理。这会很贵。但是应该不会比深 夜找锁匠贵，所以我想，在这种情况下，这样差不多。 thermometer [ θərˈmɑ:mɪtə(r)] 温度计 porch [pɔ:rtʃ] 门廊 celsius [ˈsɛlsiəs] 摄氏 fahrenheit [ˈfærənˌha
