机会;纯粹的机会。但是,机会是一个沉闷的解释,因为它否认了超自然现象的可能性,人们常常对沉闷的解释感到失望。神秘和未知数更令人兴奋,因为他们建议我们的世界不像我们担心的那样平淡无奇。然而,我们不得不理解这些诱惑,因为它们导致了一个黑暗和恐惧的世界。
(Chance; pure chance. But chance was a dull explanation because it denied the possibility of the paranormal, and people were often disappointed by dull explanations. Mystery and the unknown were far more exciting because they suggested that our world was not quite as prosaic as we feared it might be. Yet we had to adjure those temptations because they lead to a world of darkness and fear.)
