 ...Move With the Cheese and enjoy it! The end… or is it a new beginning?

......随着奶酪的变化而变化，并享受变化！结局……或者是新的开始？

A Discussion: Later That Same Day

讨 论:同一天傍晚，故事讲完以后的讨论

When Michael finished telling the story, he looked around the room and saw his former classmates smiling at him. Several thanked him and said they got a good deal out of the story.

迈克尔讲完他的故事以后，环顾四周，发现他的老同学们都在微笑着倾听，有几个人站起身来向他表示感谢，说他们从故事中得到了很多启发。

Nathan asked the group, "What would you think of getting together later and maybe discussing it?"

内森问大家："一会儿我们聚在一起讨论一下这个故事，你们觉得怎样？"

Most of them said they would like to talk about it, and so they arranged to meet later for a drink before dinner.

大多数人都表示他们的确很想谈一谈自己的感受。于是，他们决定先去喝点东西，再吃晚餐，然后一起讨论一下这个故事。

That evening, as they gathered in a hotel lounge, they began to kid each other about finding their "Cheese" and seeing themselves in the Maze.Then Angela good-naturedly asked the group, "So, who were you in the story? Sniff, Scurry, Hem or Haw?"

当天晚上，他们聚集在饭店的房间里，相互开着玩笑说，看见他们自己在迷宫中寻找各自的"奶酪"。安杰拉要大家安静下来，并询问道："你们觉得自己是这故事中的谁？嗅嗅和匆匆，还是哼哼或唧唧？"

Carlos answered, "Well I was thinking about that this afternoon. I clearly remember a time before I had my sporting goods business, when I had a rough encounter with change.

卡洛斯第一个回答说："呃，整个下午，我都在考虑这个问题。我清楚地记得，有一段时间，在我开始我的运动器材生意之前，我曾遇到过一次突如其来的改变。"

"I wasn't Sniff-I didn't sniff out the situation and see the change early. And I certainly wasn't Scurry -- I didn't go into action immediately.

"我不是嗅嗅——我没能及早嗅出潜在的危机并看出已经发生的变化。我也不像匆匆——因为我没有立即投入行动。"

"I was more like Hem, who wanted to stay in familiar territory. The truth is, I didn't want to deal with change. I didn't even want to see it."

"我想我更像是哼哼，当时我只愿意呆在自己熟悉的领域。事实上，我根本不想去应付对改变，我甚至不想看到变化。"

Michael, who felt like no time had passed since he and Carlos were close friends in school, asked, "What are you talking about, Carlos?"

迈克尔和卡洛斯在学校时是好朋友，现在还是像从前一样亲密，他不解地问道："兄弟，你所说的那个突然的改变究竟是怎么回事？"

Carlos said, "An unexpected change of jobs."

卡洛斯说："那是工作上的一个意想不到的变化。"

Michael laughed. "You were fired?"

迈克尔笑起来："你被开除了？"
