熙熙攘攘的地铁站，他随着人流走着。这样的景象，每天要看两次。时间久了，
他就喜欢观察人们的表情，大部分是看不出情绪的，是麻木的。像一个没有感
情的刷手机机器。

“他们也有在乎的人吧...” 他想：“只是没有必要把情绪放在脸上。”

他理解他们，是因为他也是地铁大军里面的一员。这些人里面到底有谁是为了
“理想”在上班呢？

那些拥有“理想”的人，是不是这些人

对于他来说，“理想”这么飘忽梦幻的东西，简直太不切实际。

他很羡慕那些拥有“理想”的人，那些早早的就知道自己终极目标的人。对于
自己来说，可能真到了“不惑”的年纪才能不再迷茫吧，到时候什么理想不理
想的可能就不再重要了。

他只想好好活着。
地铁里面一个头发夹着银丝的年轻人，捧着一本教材，上面赫然写着“荷载的
变化”。作为一个土木工程专业差点没毕业的研究生，我真是再熟悉不过了。
这是一个与浪漫无关的专业，做到最后或许能够成为一个资深的专家，但是需
要付出常人难以想象的努力。

我也有“理想”但是这个专业实在是不吸引我，且不说能不能耐得住寂寞（我
来到世界上不是忍耐寂寞的），单说那么多本厚厚的建筑规范就已经能劝退一
大部分对这个专业抱有幻想的年轻人了。

土木是一个严肃的专业，他们都说土木专业出来的人又“土”又“木”。我想
说的是，他们说的对，我真是太同意了。土木无法不严肃，这关系到建筑的结
构安全性。这个社会就是要产生一些这样的人才，最后我们才能住上安心的房
子。

In English

He walked along the bustling subway station. Such a scene must be seen twice
a day. Over time, he likes to observe people's expressions, most of which are
invisible and numb. It's like a mobile phone with no emotions.

"They have someone who cares too..." He thought, "It's just that there is no
need to put emotions on your face."

He understands them because he is also a member of the subway army. Who

among these people is at work for the "ideal"?
Those who have "ideal", are these people

For him, something so erratic and dreamy as "ideal" is simply too impractical.

He is envious of those who have "ideal", those who know their ultimate goal
early. For me, it may not be until the age of "not confused" that I will no
longer be confused, and it may not matter what ideals are not ideal at that
time.

He just wants to live well.

In the subway, a young man with silver wire in his hair was holding a textbook
with the words "Change in Load" written on it. As a graduate student who
almost never graduated with a major in civil engineering, I couldn't be more
familiar with it. This is a profession that has nothing to do with romance. In
the end, you may be able to become a senior expert, but it requires hard work
that ordinary people can't imagine.

I also have "ideal" but this major really doesn't appeal to me, let alone
whether I can endure loneliness (I didn't come to the world to endure
loneliness), so many thick building codes alone can already persuade me to
leave A large number of young people have illusions about this profession.
Civil engineering is a serious profession, and they all say that people who
come from the civil engineering profession are both "earth" and "wood". What
I want to say is that they are right, and I really agree with them. Civil
engineering can not be serious, which is related to the structural safety of the
building. This society is to produce some such talents, and finally we can live
in a safe house.
