Doors are the symbol of privacy， of retreat， of the minds escape into blissful quietude or sad secret struggle.
On Doors
C.D.Morley
The opening and closing of doors are the most significant actions of mans life. What a mystery lies in doors！No man knows what awaits him when he opens a door. Even the most familiar room， where the clock ticks and the hearth hearth n.壁炉地面， 炉边， 家庭（生活）， 炉膛 glows glow vi.发光， 发热 red at dusk， may harbor surprises.
门意味着隐私、静修、内心进入愉悦的宁静或伤心的斗争。
神秘的门
C.D莫利
开门与关门是人们生活当中最有意义的行动，门里是怎样的神秘莫测啊！当一个人开启一扇门的时候，不知等待他的是什么。即便是最为熟悉的房间，那里面有钟表在滴答作响，暮色中壁炉在闪着红光，也许会藏有令人惊讶的事情。
The plumber plumber n.水管工人 may actually have called (while you were out) and fixed that leaking faucet faucet n.龙头， 旋塞， (连接管子的)插口 . The cook may have had a fit of the vapors vapor n.水汽， 水蒸气， 无实质之物 and demanded her passports.

（在你外出时）管道工也许真的进来过，修好了正漏水的水龙头。厨师也许抑郁症发作，要求离去。
聪明人总会带着谦恭和接纳的态度打开他的前门。
我们中谁没在某个接待室里坐着，眼睛盯着那扇包含各种可能莫测高深的门？也许你是在求职；也许你有一宗希望能顺利达成的“交易”。
You watched the confidential stenographer stenographer n.速记员 flit in and out， carelessly turning that mystic portal which， to you， revolved on hinges hinge n.（门、盖等的）铰链， 枢纽， 关键 of fate. And then the young woman said， “Mr. Cranberry will see you now.” As you grasped the knob the thought flashed， “When I open this door again， what will have happened？”
There are many kinds of doors. Revolving doors for hotels， shops， and public buildings. These are typical of the brisk， bustling ways of modern life. Can you imagine John Milton or William Penn skipping through a revolving door？
Then there are the curious little slatted slatted adj.装有板条的，用板条做的，覆有板条的 doors that still swing outside denatured denatured 变性的 barrooms and extend only from shoulder to knee.
你看着那个机要速记员快速地进出，毫不在意地转动那扇神秘的门，对你来说它可能是绕着命运的枢纽在转动呢。然后那个年轻女子说：“克雷伯利先生现在要见你。”当你握住球形门把手时，脑海中闪过一个想法：“我再次打开这扇门时，将会有什么事情发生呢？”
门有许多的种类，例如旅馆、商店和公共大楼里的旋转门，这些代表着典型的活跃而忙碌的现代生活方式。你能想像约翰·弥尔顿或威廉·佩恩匆匆走进一扇旋转门吗？
还有那种开起来乒乓作响的古怪小门，这种门只有从膝盖到肩膀那么高，仍在一些上了年头的酒吧外面晃动。
There are trapdoors trapdoor n.地板门， 活板门， 活盖 ， sliding doors， double doors， stage doors， prison doors， glass doors.
But the symbol and mystery of a door resides in its quality of concealment concealment n.隐藏， 隐蔽， 隐蔽处 . A glass door is not a door at all， but a window.
The meaning of a door is to hide what lies inside； to keep the heart in suspense.
Also， there are many ways of opening doors. There is the cheery push of elbow elbow n.肘 with which the waiter shoves open the kitchen door when he bears in your try of supper. There is the sympathetic and awful awful adj.可怕的， 威严的 silence of the dentists maid who opens the door into the operating room， and ， without speaking， implies that the doctor is ready for you. There is the brisk cataclysmic cataclysmic adj.洪水的， 大变动的 opening of a door when the nurse comes in， very early in the morning—“Its a boy！”
还有活板门、拉门、双折门、舞台门、监狱门、玻璃门等。
不过一扇门的标志与神秘在于其隐蔽性。玻璃门根本算不上是门，只是一扇窗户罢了。
门的意义就在于把里面的东西隐藏起来，使你的心焦躁不安。
同样，开门也有很多种方式。有一种是用胳膊肘轻轻一顶，侍者端着你的晚餐盘、打开厨房门时都会这样。还有牙医女助手富于同情而无声打开的手术室门，她一声不响，暗示医生已在等候你了。还有一种，在清晨很早的时候，护士欢快而突然地打开门进来，嘴里喊道：“是个男孩！”
