899　First Thing You See in the Next World 下一个世界里看到的第一样东西

Operating high-pressure boilers can be stressful—like the time my co-worker and I discovered a dangerous leak in a boiler. Scorching steam was billowing out, filling up the room and decreasing visibility. “I hope this doesn't get any bigger,” I said. “I don't want this steam to be the last thing I see in this world.” “That wouldn't be so bad,” my coworker replied. “So long as it's not the first thing you see in the next.”

操作高压锅炉是很紧张的，就像我和我的同事发现锅炉上有一处危险的渗漏那一次。滚烫的蒸汽滚滚而来，充满屋子，使能见度下降。我说：“希望不要再继续扩大。我不希望这蒸汽是我在这个世界里看到的最后的东西。”我的同事回答说：“只要这蒸汽不是在下一个世界里看到的第一样东西，就还不算太糟。”
