现实生活中不是一系列相互联系的事件，就像珠子在项链上一样。生活实际上是一系列的遭遇，其中一个事件可能会改变以完全不可预测甚至毁灭性的方式来改变的事件。
(Real life isn't a series of interconnected events occurring one after another like beads strung on a necklace. Life is actually a series of encounters in which one event may change those that follow in a wholly unpredictable, even devastating way.)
