Unlike life, you've got more or less complete control over what's going on in your stories. That's not to say you can make characters do whatever you want them to - they usually have a life of their own if you've done your job properly.
与生活不同，你对自己的故事或多或少有完全的控制权。这并不是说你可以让角色做任何你想让他们做的事——如果你把工作做好了，他们通常会有自己的生活。
