When an event happens, he may understand it quickly enough with his mind, but he takes quite a while to feel it.  Once upon a time a coach, containing some Englishmen and some Frenchmen, was driving over the Alps. The horses ran away, and as they were dashing across a bridge the coach caught on the stonework, tottered, and nearly fell into the ravine (溪谷) below. The Frenchmen were frantic ( 发狂的) with terror: they screamed and gesticulated (做手势) and flung themselves about, as Frenchmen would. The Englishmen sat quite calm.  An hour later the coach drew up at an inn to change horses, and by that time the situations were exactly reversed.

Their instinct forbade them to throw themselves about in the coach, because it was more likely to trip over (翻倒) if they did.
