5:About my impression
• No one can refuse the happiness! • The Resident World Controller of Western Europe Mustapha Mond said,"Now the world is very stable and happy. What they want, there is; if it's not, they would not delusional [dɪ'lu:ʒnəl] (妄 想的). They are rich, the situation is stable; they never get sick, they don’t fear of death; they are full of joy, forget the passion and old; they do not have to worry about their parents; they have no wife, no love, no emotional baggage; they accept strict conditions and act concordantly [kən'kɔ:dənt] (和谐的,一致的) with the rules. What if they made a mistake, also accompanied by soma."
