THERE'S A HOLE IN MY SIDEWALK
Autobiography in Five Short Chapters
By Portia Nelson
Chapter One
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost .... I am helpless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.
Chapter Two
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend that I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in this same place.
But, it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.
Chapter Three
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in ... it's a habit ... but, my eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.
Chapter Four
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.
Chapter Five
I walk down another street.
大致意思如下：

大致意思如下：
第一种：
我走在大街上。街边有一个深不见底的洞。我掉了进去。我无助般的迷失了。这不是我的错啊！我永远也没有出路了！
第二种：
我走在大街上。街边有一个深不见底的洞。我假装没有看见。我又掉了进去。我无法相信这居然是同一个地方。但是这不是我的错啊！我花了很长时间找到了出路。
第三种：
我走在大街上。街边有一个深不见底的洞。这次我看见了。但是我还是习惯性地掉了进去。不过我看得很清楚。我知道自己在哪里。我知道这是我的错。我立刻就找到了出路。
第四种：
我走在大街上。街边有一个深不见底的洞。我从它的旁边绕过去。
第五种：
我换一条路走。
