墨菲法则
Murphy holds a pessimistic perception of the world; maybe it has something to do with his personality His bad luck persists: whenever he drives a car, hell think that the petrol will run out, and it always does To him, an umbrella is a permanent companion, and he wont do anything unless theres official permission for doing it His performance at work is almost perfect In fact, according to the records of the personnel department, he has never been late or absent At one early phase of his career, Murphy left home at 4∶00 a.m. to avoid the peak hour In his backyard he has a big tank full of petroleum, in case theres an energy shortage one day Hes phased in a new life to avoid depending on the outside world, so he can survive when nuclear war breaks out Murphy has also started to phase out things he can get from shops, and the percentage of necessities he can produce himself is increasing Murphy is planning to phase deep sleep from his life, so he can keep an eye open all the time, to detect any possible danger Murphy is a phenomenon who needs a perspective to counter his bad luck: whatever can go wrong, will do so, and it will always happen at the worst possible moment—“Murphys law”
墨菲对这个世界持悲观看法,这可能与他的个性有关。他的厄运一直持续不断:每次开车,他都想会不会没有汽油了,结果往往真的没了。对他来说,伞是的伴侣。除非政府明文许可,否则他决不会做任何事。他在工作中的表现几乎无可挑剔,实际上,根据人事部门的记录,他从未迟到或缺席过。在他职业生涯的早期,墨菲每天早上四点钟就离家去上班,以避开高峰时间。在他家的后院有一个装满汽油的大油箱,以备万一哪天会出现能源短缺。他已逐步采用了一种新的生活方式,已不再依靠外面的世界,即使核战争爆发,他也可以幸存下来。墨菲还逐步停止使用从商店购买的东西,他自制的日用必需品所占的百分比在不断增加。墨菲计划分阶段实行深层睡眠,这样他就能总是睁着一只眼,以便发现任何可能出现的危险。墨菲是一个非凡的人,他需要用一种观点来对抗自己的厄运:凡是有可能出差错的事终将会出差错,而且总是在最糟糕的时候发生——这就叫“墨菲法则”。
