我们 我們 中的 许多 許多 人 多多少少 都 经历 經歷 过 過 这样 這樣 的 循环 循環 ： 面对 面對 着 著 浏览器 瀏覽器 ， 习惯性 習慣性 地 Ctrl-T 打开 打開 一个 一個 新 的 标签页 標籤頁 ， 敲 下 常 去 网址 網址 的 首字母 然后 然後 回车 回車 ， 只 为了 為了 看看 有没有 有沒有 啥 新鲜 新鮮 事 发生 發生 。
Most of us have, to some extent, experienced being caught in a cycle like this one: Facing the browser, you hit, like you always do, Ctrl-T to open a new tab, type in the first letter of the website you always visit, and hit "enter"... just to see if anything new has happened.
