If you built a model to schedule a network oftrains, could you re-use that model to calculate the depreciation of those trains?
如果你建立一个模型来指定列车时刻表,你会使用当初用来计算火车折旧的模型吗?

You're at the mercy of the schedule, of drivers, of other people slowing the system down, of trains breaking down and backing the system up, and so on.
你要受时刻表、司机还有其他会减慢系统运行的人的摆布,列车有时还会抛锚和后退,等等。

In refusing to run to catch trains, I have felt the true value of elegance and aesthetics in behavior, a sense of being in control of my time, my schedule, and my life.
