102651 When we approach front doors, we appreciate those that have a small threshold in front of them, a piece of railing, a canopy or a simple line of flowers or stones - features that help us to mark the transition between public and private space and appease the anxiety of entering or leaving a house. 当我们走近大门时，我们喜欢门前能有一道小门槛，有一道栏杆，一个天篷或是一排简单的鲜花甚至石头--这些特征能够帮助我们划分出公共和私人空间的过度并以此安抚进入或离开一幢房子的焦虑不安。
