Lesson65 Jumbo versus[ˈvɜːsəs] the police
Last Christmas, the circus owner, Jimmy Gates, decided to take some presents to a children's hospital. Dressed up as Father Christmas and accompanied by a 'guard of honour' of six pretty girls, he set off down the main street of the city riding a baby elephant called Jumbo. Heshould have known that the police would never allow this sort of thing. A policeman approached Jimmy and told him he ought to have gone along a side-street as Jumbo was holding up the traffic. Though Jimmy agreed to go at once, Jumbo refused to move. Fifteen policemen had to push very hard to get him off the main street. The police had a difficult time, but they were most amused. 'Jumbo must weigh a few tons,' said a policeman afterwards, 'so it was fortunate that we didn't have to carry him. Of course, we should arrest him, but as he has a good record, we shall let him off this time.

今天上班时打开喜玛拉雅，发现S的公开课录音现在只有五集了，前几天还有好多的，看来是成会员付费才能听了吗？唉，想让眼睛不累，只用耳朵听的也不能了，不过还是在这五集里重新温故了一下：先解决了观念再行动，如果一直纠结在找方法上是不可能持续行动的。好吧，10天，100天，1000天，30年······现在才是初阶，向一百天进军。
