1.If the pigeons have mangled feet, you are entering a bad neighborhood. Context: urban pigeons lose toes when they try to make nests out of debris on the ground. Dangerous neighborhoods are dirty, have debris and thus pigeons with missing toes.

1.如果鸽子的爪尖坏了，那你进入的地方脏乱差。原因：城市里的鸽子用地上的杂物筑巢时会把爪尖磨掉。危险的地区都很脏，到处是杂物，所以鸽子的爪尖都没了。

2.If you want to make friends with a new group of people, talk to the guys. If you approach the girls, the guys will get jealous.

2.如果你想要和新认识的一群人交朋友，就跟男孩聊天。如果你接近女孩，男孩们会吃醋。

3.Homeless people (usually) are using your cash for drugs. (edit: offer support through other means)

3.无家可归的人（通常）会用你给的钱去买毒品。（附：给他们别的帮助）

4.If you realize someone is stalking you, don’t run, act like you don’t see them. Walk somewhere public. Most kidnappers will act quick if they think their target is onto them.

4.如果你感觉有人跟踪你，不要跑，要假装没看见他们，往人多的地方走。大多数绑匪觉得被目标发现了会快速采取行动。

5.If there is a riot, run with the crowd or you will get trampled like a pancake.

5.如果发生暴乱，要跟着人群一起跑，否则你会被人踩成煎饼。

6.Moss mostly grows on the north side of the tree.

1. Never show fear. No matter how scared you are ALWAYS act as if everything is fine. Most importantly relax your EYES.

1.永远不要表现出恐惧。无论你有多害怕，永远要表现得像没事一样，最重要的是要让你的眼睛放松。

2. Practice dead eyes! This goes along with not being afraid. The first things predators look for is weakness and fear is weakness.

2.练习冰冷的眼神。这代表你不害怕。坏人首要寻找的就是弱点，而恐惧就是弱点。

3. Walk with your head up. Not only does it allow you to observe better what is going on around you but it shows you have confidence. Walking with your head down looks WEAK and unconfident PLUS unaware.

3.走路要昂首。这不仅能让你更好地观察周围发生的事，而且显得你很自信。低头走路让你看起来很弱小，不自信，而且不易察觉。

4. Choose your battles wisely. Fight only the fights you can win

4.明智地选择战斗。只有在能赢的时候才打架。

5. Practice strong body language. Talk with your hands. Use open gestures. Use facial expressions to provide context to your words.

5.练习强壮的肢体语言。说话时用手，使用开放的手势，利用面部表情帮你表达。

6. LEARN TO LIE! Lies are powerful on the street. Why you ask? Because it allows you to shape PERCEPTION! If someone thinks your dad is CRAZY they'll be hesitant to mess with you.

6.学会说谎！谎言在社会上很有用。你想问为什么？因为谎言会帮你建立一种看法。如果有人认为你爸爸很疯狂，他们想惹你时就会先想想。
