Haw thought about going back again to Cheese Station C to see if he could find Hem - assuming (假定) that Haw could find his way back there.{1}
If he found Hem, he thought he might be able to show him how to get out of his predicament (尴尬的处境).
But Haw realized that he had already tried to get his friend to change.
Hem had to find his own way, beyond (超出) his comforts and past his fears.
No one else could do it for him, or talk him into it.
He somehow had to see the advantage of changing himself.
Haw knew he had left a trail (痕迹) for Hem and that he could find his way, if he could just read The Handwriting (字迹) On The Wall.
He went over and wrote down a summary of what he had learned on the largest wall of Cheese Station N.
He drew a large piece of cheese around all the insights (洞察力；深刻见解) he had learned, and smiled as he looked at what he had learned{2}:
(THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL)

They Keep Moving The Cheese
Haw realized how far he had come since he had been with Hem in Cheese Station C, but knew it would be easy for him to slip back if he got too comfortable.
So, each day he inspected (检查；审视) Cheese Station N to see what the condition of his Cheese was.
He was going to do whatever he could to avoid being surprised by unexpected (出乎意料的) change.{3}
While Haw still had a great supply of Cheese, he often went out into the maze and explored (探索) new areas to stay in touch with what was happening around him.
He knew it was safer to be aware of his real choices than to isolate (隔离) himself in his comfort zone.
Haw heard what he thought was the sound of movement out in the maze.{4}
As the noise (噪音) grew louder, he realized that someone was coming.
Could it be that Hem was arriving? Was he about to turn the corner?
Haw said a little prayer and hoped - as he had many times before - that maybe, at last, his friend was finally able to… {5}
Move With The Cheese And Enjoy It!
A Discussion (讨论)
Later That Same Day
When Michael finished telling the story, he looked around the room and saw his former classmates smiling at him.
Several thanked him and said they got a good deal out of the story.
Nathan asked the group, "What would you thinking of getting together later and maybe discussing it?"
Most of them said they would like to talk about it, and so they arranged (安排) to meet later for a drink before dinner.
