别的行当也是很激动人心的，过去是，现在是，将来也是。俺土人在家里做点活，把马
桶装好后，比旧的用的爽，也觉得有成就感，挺激动人心的。
作很多工作，激动人心的成就背后都有很多tedious的事要干，而且这tedious的事往往
是日常工作中的很大一部分。乔丹的篮球打得激动人心，场下的艰苦训炼可是让巴克利
叹为观止。
人是不能光靠“激动人心”活着的。世上俗人占多数，多数俗人讲究一个“cost
benefit analysis”。同样的tedious的活干着，大多数人当然愿意选择回报率高的。 |

发帖数: 2253 | 7 这个其实也很好理解，要是我要去做这样的题，肯定也是先写答案再写解释。
因为写字的速度就那么快，不可能用写下来的文字来同步思考的速度。
也就是说正常人都是会先有答案。
但是回过头写下来怎么得到的这个答案，也是挺好的思维训练。
“tedious”并不说明什么问题，同样做60分钟题，一个是要写解释，一个是不写解释

Q：最终同意让你摸胸的有多少？
A：少时只有13个，多时117个。
Q：哪天是最成功的？原因是什么？我觉得很多男士都感兴趣的问题是，莫斯科哪些地方的女孩子们最为奔放不羁呢？
A：红牛飞行大赛（Red Bull Flugtag）那天创下了117人次的记录。总的来说，人越多的大型市级活动上，女孩子也就越多。当然咯，在中心的女孩子们最为奔放。以及在节假日之类的时候，女孩子们要比只是在街上散步或赶路要来得不那么拘束。
