　　Security and peace of mind were part of the reason we moved to a gated community. Both flew out the window the night I called a local pizza shop for a delivery. "I'd like to order a large pepperoni, please," I said, then gave him the address of our condominium. "We'll be there in about half an hour," the kid at the other end replied. "Your gate code is still 1238, right?"

　　我们搬到一个有门禁系统的社区的部分原因是因为我们认为那里安全而且安静。 但当一天晚上我打电话到本地一家Pizza店叫外卖时，这两点都飞到九宵云外了。“请给我我送一份意大利香肠pizza”，我说，然后把我们公寓的地址告诉了他。“我们大约半小时就到”，电话另一边那个送外卖的小孩回答，“你们大门的密码还是1238吧？”
