今天從一句文章引用來開始學習collapse.

“The secret of success is to realize that the crisis on our planet is much larger than just deciding what to do with your own life, and if the system under which we live the structure of western civilization begins to collapse because of our selfishness and greed, then it will make no difference whether you have $1 million dollars when the crash comes or just $1.00. The only work that will ultimately bring any good to any of us is the work of contributing to the healing of the world.”
Marianne Williamson quotes (American Author and Lecturer, spiritual leader of the Church of Today, b.1952)

collapse跟前面學過的lapse長得像是親戚，我們就用lapse來記它。開始吧！
