| All truly great thoughts are conceived
while walking, observed Nietzsche, though I’ve always been a bit suspicious of
the eagerness with which writers and artists celebrate the inspirational power
of taking a stroll. Yet it seems to work. "methinks(我想) the moment my legs begin
to move, my thoughts begin to flow," was how Henry Thoreau described an
experience many of us have had, be it tackling challenging work or worrying over
problems. If we still don’t know why walking inspires clarity and creativity, it’s because there are too many possible explanations, not too few.

He was not there, but his trousers were lying on his bed. She looked in the other rooms upstairs, but he was not there either, so she went to the balcony(阳台)and shunted down angrily, "Are you running about down there without your trousers" "No, my dear, "answered her husband. "I have bought some vegetables and I am wearing my trousers. " Now, Billy was playing in the garden without his trousers. One afternoon Billy went out without his trousers. [A]Right.
