In this age of crowds in which I have determined to be a solitary, perhaps the greatest sin would be to lament the presence of people on the threshold of my solitude.

-- Thomas Merton 托马斯·默顿

在这个群居的时代，我决心要成为一个孤独的人，也许最大的罪恶就是在我即将孤独的时候哀叹人们的存在。

I don't know if it's irrational, and I would never say this before, but I think I'm a little bit agoraphobic when I'm in huge crowds of people. I mean, it's claustrophobic, probably - small spaces and large groups of people, anxiety rises for me.

我不知道这是不是不理智，我以前也不会这么说，但我觉得我在一大群人面前有点恐旷症。我的意思是，这可能是幽闭恐惧症——狭小的空间和一大群人，让我感到焦虑。
