查询词典 or rather

It is not something isolated from the reality but the authentic works of human practice; therefore, it is tinged with humanity, or rather as what the British aesthetician Bell termed "Meaningful Forms".

它不是脱离现实而独立的东西，而确实是人的"作品"，因而才会具有"人的意味"即英国美学家贝尔说的"有意味的形式"。

如果我们把理性视为他自身与它的对方，把它固定在这个对立的个别环节里，那麼这就是非理性的了解理性，而这种对立的诸环节越是纯粹，这种只为意识所自觉或者只由意识坦率表述出来的内容，外表就越是荒唐。

From printing to burning or fumigating, these elements may be seen as modeling with aesthetic ends, but from the beginning of paper, each modeling, including printing and further physical formation, is in fact a damage to the intact paper by the author, or rather the power represented by the author.

及至印刷，再到烫烧或烟熏。这几个环节，都可以被认为是塑造，而结果也是符合审美的。但是从纸张的诞生起，每一次的塑造，包括印刷和下一步的物理改造，都是将作者，或者说是以作者为代表的强势对原本完整的纸张的破坏。

When I meet the engine with its train of cars moving off with planetary motion —— or, rather, like a comet, for the beholder knows not if with that velocity and with that direction it will ever revisit this system, since its orbit does not look like a returning curve —— with its steam cloud like a banner streaming behind in golden and silver wreaths, like many a downy cloud which I have seen, high in the heavens, unfolding its masses to the light —— as if this traveling demigod, this cloud-compeller, would ere long take the sunset sky for the livery of his train; when I hear the iron horse make the hills echo with his snort like thunder, shaking the earth with his feet, and breathing fire and smoke from his nostrils（what kind of winged horse or fiery dragon they will put into the new Mythology I don't know）, it seems as if the earth had got a race now worthy to inhabit it.

当我遇见那火车头，带了它的一列车厢，像行星运转似的移动前进，——或者说，像一颗扫帚星，因为既然那轨道不像一个会转回来的曲线，看到它的人也就不知道在这样的速度下，向这个方向驰去的火车，会不会再回到这轨道上来，——水蒸汽像一面旗帜，形成金银色的烟圈飘浮在后面，好像我看到过的高高在天空中的一团团绒毛般的白云，一大块一大块地展开，并放下豪光来，——好像这位旅行着的怪神，吐出了云霞，快要把夕阳映照着的天空作它的列车的号衣；那时我听到铁马吼声如雷，使山谷都响起回声，它的脚步踩得土地震动，它的鼻孔喷着火和黑烟（我不知道在新的神话中，人们会收进怎样的飞马或火龙），看来好像大地终于有了一个配得上住在地球上的新的种族了。

Or, rather, it employs two ring-shaped half-pipes that rotate with respect to one another (the lower one remaining fixed while the upper one revolves along with the building). The joints between the half-pipes have rubber seals to stop the contents leaking, and each half-pipe has a vertical pipe connected to it, to introduce or dispose of the fluid concerned.

或者更确切的说，它使用了两根彼此旋转的环形半管（当上面那根独自围着建筑旋转的时候，下面那根余下的部分被固定），两根半管的接头有橡胶防止泄漏，每根半管都有一根垂直管与之相连，引入或排出附着的液体。

或者更确切地说，它由两个相对旋转、各只有一半的环形钢管组成（在下面的半个环形钢管固定不动，而在其上的另半个环形钢管则跟着房子一起旋转），两者的接合处由橡胶材料封住以防管内物外漏，此外两个环形钢管各有另一根管道垂直接入，来引入或导出相关的流体物质。

As if the sun should stop when he had kindled his fires up to the splendor of a moon or a star of the sixth magnitude, and go about like a Robin Goodfellow,(6) peeping in at every cottage window, inspiring lunatics, and tainting meats, and making darkness visible, instead of steadily increasing his genial heat and beneficence till he is of such brightness that no mortal can look him in the face, and then, and in the meanwhile too, going about the world in his own orbit, doing it good, or rather, as a truer philosophy has discovered, the world going about him getting good.

仿佛太阳在以它的火焰照耀了月亮或一颗六等星以后，会停下来，跑来跑去像好人罗宾似的，在每所村屋的窗外偷看，叫人发疯，叫肉变质，使黑暗的地方可以看得见东西，而不是继续不已地增强他的柔和的热和恩惠，直到它变得这般光辉灿烂，没有几人能够凝视它，而同时它绕着世界，行走在它自己的轨道上，做好事，或者说，像一个真正的哲学家已经发现了的，地球会绕着它运转而得到了它的好处。
