Silence is unnatural to marl．He begins lire with a cry and ends it in stillness．in between he does all he can to make a noise in the world，and he fears silence more than anything else．Even his，conversation is ail attempt to prevent a fearful silence．If he is introduced to another person，and a number of pauses occur in the conversation．he regards himself as a failure，a worthless person，and is full of envy of the emptiest-headed chatterbox(喋喋不休的人)．He knows that ninety—nine percent

of human conversation meads no more than the buzzing of a fly, but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure(醋塑人)．

    The aim at conversation is not, for the most part，to communicate ideas, it is to keep up the buzzing sound．There are，it must be admitted, different—qualities of buzz; there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the continuous noise made by a mosquito(蚊子)，But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito Than a quiet person．Most buzzing，fortunately, is pleasant to the ear，and some of it is pleasant，even to the mind。He would be a foolish man if he waited until he had a wise thought to take park in the buzzing with his neighbors．

    Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational opening seem to me not to know the reason why human beings wish to talk．Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new．Some of them aye content if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people’s ears though they have nothing to tell them except that they．have seen two or three new plays or that they had food in a Swiss hotel．At the end of 3n evening during which they have said nothing meaningful for along time, they just prove themselves to be successful conservationists
