查询词典 as it were

But never was a fight managed so hardily, and in such a surprising manner, as that which followed between Friday and the bear, which gave us all (though at first we were surprised and afraid for him) the greatest diversion imaginable: as the bear is a heavy, clumsy creature, and does not gallop as the wolf does, who is swift, and light; so he has two particular qualities, which generally are the rule of his actions; first, as to men, who are not his proper prey; I say, not his proper prey; because though I cannot say what excessive hunger might do, which was now their case, the ground being all covered with snow; but as to men, he does not usually attempt them, unless they first attack him: on the contrary, if you meet him in the woods, if you don't meddle with him, he won't meddle with you; but then you must take care to be very civil to him, and give him the road; for he is a very nice gentleman, he won't go a step out of his way for a prince; nay, if you are really afraid, your best way is to look another way, and keep going on; for sometimes if you stop, and stand still, and look steadily at him, he takes it for an affront; but if you throw or toss any thing at him, and it hits him, though it were but a bit of a stick, as big as your finger, he takes it for an affront, and sets all his other business aside to pursue his revenge; for he will have satisfaction in point of honour; that is his first quality: the next is, that if he be once affronted, he will never leave you, night or day, till he has his revenge; but follows at a good round rate, till he overtakes you.

再没有什么战斗比"星期五"和大熊之间后来那场战斗更勇敢和更惊险的了。这场大战起初确实使我们感到很惊险，但最后却给了我们大家无比的娱乐。熊这种动物身体笨重，行动迟缓；不像狼那样一路小跑，又快又轻。因此熊具有两个特性，作为它的一般行动规则：第一、先说人，人不是熊的合适的猎物，我是说的"合适的猎物"；当然，像现在这种情况，地上全被大雪覆盖，熊极端饥饿时是否也会吃人，我就不敢说了。不过，人一般不要去攻击熊，除非熊首先攻击人；相反，要是你在树林里遇到熊，你不去惹它，它也不会惹你。不过你得特别小心，要对它特别客气，给它让路，因为它是一位非常可爱的绅士，就是王子，熊也不会给他让开一步的；如果你真的害怕，最好不要看它，继续走你的路。如果你停下来，站着不动，盯着看它，它就认为是对它的挑衅。如果你向它扔什么东西，打中了它，哪怕是一根只有手指头粗的棍子，它也认为是对它一种挑衅，就会不顾一切，实行报复；因为只有把荣誉挣回来他才会感到满足。这是熊的第一个特性。第二个特性是：熊一旦受到挑衅，就会日夜跟着你，直到报完了仇；哪怕绕上许多路，也要跟着你，直到把你抓住。

All I shew'd them, all I Said to them, was perfectly amazing; but above all, the Captain admir'd my Fortification, and how perfectly I had conceal'd my Retreat with a Grove of Trees, which having been now planted near twenty Years, and the Trees growing much faster than in England, was become a little Wood, and so thick, that it was unpassable in any Part of it, but at that one Side, where I had reserv'd my little winding Passage into it: I told him, this was my Castle, and my Residence; but that I had a Seat in the Country, as most Princes have, whither I could retreat upon Occasion, and I would shew him that too another Time; but at present, our Business was to consider how to recover the Ship: He agreed with me as to that; but told me, he was perfectly at a Loss what Measures to take; for that there were still six and twenty Hands on board, who having entred into a cursed Conspiracy, by which they had all forfeited their Lives to the Law, would be harden'd in it now by Desperation; and would carry it on, knowing that if they were reduc'd, they should be brought to the Gallows, as soon as they came to England, or to any of the English Colonies; and that therefore there would be no attacking them, with so small a Number as we were.

船长特别欣赏我的防御工事，欣赏我用一片小树林把住宅完全隐蔽起来。这片小树林现在已经栽了二十年了，由于这里树木比英国长得快，现在已经成了一片小小的森林，而且十分茂密。我在树林里保留了一条弯弯曲曲的小径，其他任何地方都走不进来。我告诉他，这是我的城堡和住宅，但是，像许多王公贵人一样，我在乡间还有一所别墅。如果需要，我可以去那儿休养一段时期。我说，以后有时间，我可以带他们到那儿去看看，但目前我们的首要任务是要考虑收复那只大船的问题。船长同意我的看法，可是，他说，他一时想不出什么办法，因为大船上还有二十六个人。他们既已参加了叛乱，在法律上已犯了死罪，因此已别无出路，只好一不做二不休，硬干到底。因为，他们知道，如果失败了，一回英国或任何英国殖民地，他们就会被送上绞架。但光靠我们这几个人，是无法向他们进攻的。

Where Comenius spoke up for a single school system for all, Locke, dividing his world fastidiously into one of masters and servants, vouchsafed the best education that money could buy to the former, with only an anemic sort of leftover, as it were, to the latter--which is to say, the overwhelming horde .

Tender insects that live abroad either enjoy only the short period of one summer, or else doze away the cold, uncomfortable months in profound slumbers; but these residing, as it were, in a torrid zone, are always alert and merry: a good Christmas fire is to them like the heats of the dog-days.
