- but tell it indirectly." Then, in line two, she says this another way: "Success in telling the truth lies in a circuitous journey, not a direct one." In lines three and four, she describes the failure of that direct approach: "The surprise of direct truth is too bright for our weak and unstable capacity for delight.
首先在第一行，最赤裸的論斷。

抽乾海洋根本超難！ (Draining The Oceans Is HARD)
- But draining real oceans with a drain is more complicated – whether or not water escapes from a given location depends on whether or not there's a path for water to travel between that location and the drain, and that drainage path could be circuitous and travel far away from both the location and the drain itself, which is the case for lots of real-world rivers.
但是，用排水口向真正的海洋排水則更為複雜--水是否從某個地點流出，取決於該地點和排水口之間是否有水流路徑，而水流路徑可能是迂迴的，並遠離該地點和排水口本身，現實世界中的許多河流就是這種情況。
- and that drainage path could be circuitous and travel far away from both the location and the drain itself—which is the case for lots of real-world rivers.
我們稱其為非局部現象，是因為在任何一個點上發生的事情不僅取決於該點的情況，還取決於其他地方發生的事情。
