at when he had been afraid to change he had been holding on to the illusion of Old Cheese that was no longer there. 他认识到，当他害怕变化的时候，他一直受困于对那已不复存在的旧奶酪的幻想而无法自拔。
So what was it that made him change? Was it the fear of starving to death? Haw smiled as he thought it certainly helped. 那又是什么使他发生了改变呢？
难道是害怕饿死的恐惧？想到这里，唧唧笑了，他心里明白，这种恐惧当然起过很大的作用。
Then he laughed and realized that he had started to change as soon as he had learned to laugh at himself and at what he had been doing wrong. He realized the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly -- then you can let go and quickly move on. 唧唧忽然发现，他已经学会自嘲了，而当人们学会自嘲，能够嘲笑自己的愚蠢和所做的错事时，他就开始改变了。
他甚至觉得，改变自己的最快捷的方式，就是坦然嘲笑自己的愚笨——这样，你就能对过往云烟轻松释然，迅速行动起来，直面变化。
He knew he had learned something useful about moving on from his mice friends, Sniff and Scurry. They kept life simple. They didn't overanalyze or overcomplicate things. When the situation changed and the Cheese had been moved, they changed and moved with the Cheese. He would remember that. 唧唧相信他从他的老鼠朋友嗅嗅和匆匆那里，学到了一些有用的东西——不畏惧改变，勇往直前。
老鼠朋友们简单地对待生活，他们不会反复分析，也不会把事情搞得很复杂。当形势发生改变，奶酪被移走了的时候，他们会迅速随之改变，循着奶酪的移动方向而移动。唧唧告诉自己，要牢记这些体会。Haw had also used his wonderful brain to do what little people do better than mice. 唧唧相信拥有了这些体会，凭借自己智慧的头脑，再遇到任何变化时他一定能做得比老鼠朋友们更好。
He envisioned himself -- in realistic detail -finding something better -- much better. 他的头脑里出现了清晰的图画，他的生活将会变得更美好，而且他还会在迷宫中发现一些更好的东西。
He reflected on the mistakes he had made in the past and used them to plan for his future. He knew that you could learn to deal with change. 唧唧不断地反思自己过去犯下的错误，他要汲取这些经验教训，去构划自己的未来。
他知道，自己完全可以通过总结和学习，掌握如何应对变化： You could be more aware of the need to keep things simple, be flexible, and move quickly. You did not need to overcomplicate matters or confuse yourself with fearful beliefs. 首先要更清醒地认识到，有时需要简单地看待问题，以及灵敏快速地行动。
你不必把事情过分复杂化，或者一味地让那些惊恐的念头使自己感到慌乱。You could notice when the little changes began so that you would be better prepared for the big change that might be coming. 其次必须要善于发现一开始发生的那些细微的变化，以便你为即将来临的更大的变化做好
