In the month of May, says Chaucer, a poet puts away his books 'and seeth the fressche floures, how they springe'.

说，在五月，人会把书抛在一旁，去“寻找花朵清香和春天气息”。

We are fascinated by rogues, from Chaucer's Pardoner to Del Boy. 9 We are bad at risk-assessment, and repeated surveys show that we fear crime far more than is justified.

从笔下忏悔者到热播喜剧中人物德尔小子，这些流氓无赖无一不让我们心向往之。我们并不善于准风险，一次次调查表明，我们对于犯罪行为恐惧大大超出了正常范围。
