Silence is unnatural to a man. He begins life with a cry and 1 it in stillness. In between he does all he can to make a 2 in the world, and he 3 silence more than anything else.

He knows that ninety-nine percent of human 6 means no more than the buzz of a fly, but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to 7 that he is a man and not a waxwork (蜡像). The 8 of conversation is not, for the most part, to communicate ideas; it is to 9 the buzzing sound. There are, it must be 10 , different qualities of buzzes; there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the continuous noise made by a mosquito (蚊子). 11 at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a quiet person.
