是以最小成本获取最大效益。   从本例来看，在冷冻室或在冷藏室，安一盏灯成本都是一样的。   但是从收益来看，因为大多数人打开冷藏室的频率还远高于冷冻室。因此，自然在冷藏室装灯的收益比较高啦。   当然啦，对于这个问题，Quora 还有其他解释，也相当有道理呢，一起来看看。   Quora网友解释：   [en]Freezers tend to be more densely packed, so a light isn’t going to be helpful in terms of lighting up most of the freezer.[/en][cn]冰箱冷冻室一般东西排放得更紧密，所以即使有灯也不太管用，照不到大部分地方。[/cn]   [en]An incandescent light in the freezer will generate too much heat, making the system extremely inefficient.[/en][cn]在冰箱冷冻室装灯的话，会产生大量的热，会让整个冷冻系统变得很低效。[/cn]   （本文首发于沪江商务英语公众号，扫码关注，即可获取更多商务英语资讯。转载请“沪江商务英语”后台联系！）

家和歌手的作品想太多，在你把自己感动得稀里哗啦的时候，他们可能在说：“真没想到有人喜欢这种东西。”   最后附上 Ngoc 那篇文书的全文，大家自己感受一下吧： I remember the first time I wore a bra. I came home from school in the fifth grade, and my mom handed me a white cloth to put on beneath my shirt. “You’re a big girl now,” she said, “You need to wear this.” From that moment on, my life was forever changed. That same year, I was taught that the sun would someday die, and I, feeling the pressure of the contraption beneath my shirt, realized that my childhood, too, would eventually dissipate just like the sun. The first bra paved way for a second, and then a third, and then, by the fourth bra I had advanced to the Lady Type, the ones that my mom wore. With every new bra, I cast away the former. Somewhere in the dark abyss of my closet, there is a heap of abandoned bras, tiny, worn-out filaments that had once shone so brightly in their days of use, but had faded away into old, neglected remnants of days long gone. They sit against a corner of the universe and gather dust like dead stars— without life, without luster, without vigor. With every new bra, I felt the unmerciful hand of change push me further down a path with which I had no return. The bras no longer had the simplicity of the first; they came equipped with more folds and stitches and frills and patterns that were designed to counteract the growing complexity of my responsibilities. Sometimes, when I found myself too big for the current one, I was either unable to or unwilling to get another because of the implications behind the transition—if every new bra meant the death of another star, then the adult world was nothing to me but a lifetime of darkness. I tried so hard not to kill any more stars, but my resistance was not enough, and I found myself adding layer after layer to the ever-increasing pile of bras. With this mindset, I prepared myself for the end, for the moment in which my entire universe would be engulfed by the black hole forming in my closet. But I was saved. I learned that life does not occur linearly, but in cycles: New stars can arise from the ashes of former ones, and the darkness of death is replenished by the light of birth. Thus, what is created is only a reinterpretation of the past in a form that is fitted for the present. In wearing a new bra, I was not casting away my old self but reorienting myself to accommodate to changing times. Change, as overwhelming as it feels, is only natural—the pile of bras will only get bigger. Though it is hard to accept the existence of the bra in my life, I realize that I cannot live without it, for, as we grow older, things tend to droop more easily, and there is nothing more reliable than a bra to give us the inner support necessary to have a firm hold on life. 完   OK，来讲一讲今天的词 moralistic。这个词是由 moral（道德）变化而来的，不过它并不是一个褒义词，而是指那些“占据道德高地”的，并没有什么严密的逻辑，只是单纯的说教。换句话说，也
