目的地：destination的用法和辨析

A compass will point you true north from where you're standing. But it's got no advice about the swamps and deserts and chasms that you'll encounter along the way. If in persuit of your destination, you plunge ahead, heedless of obstacles and achieve nothing more than to sink in a swamp. What's the use of knowing true north?

——Lincoln 

罗盘会告诉你北在哪里，但是却不能提醒你哪里有沼泽，哪里是沙漠。如果为了到达你的目的地，你义无反顾地向前走，不顾障碍，最终却只得到了沉没于沼泽的下场。就算你知道了北在哪里又有什么用呢？

——《林肯》
