查询词典 previous engagement

Thus, in every American deliberative assembly having no rules for conducting business, the motion to adjourn, when it does not dissolve the assembly, would be decided to be undebatable, as in Congress, the English parliamentary law to the contrary notwithstanding; so if the previous question were negatived, the debate upon the subject would continue, as in Congress, whereas in Parliament the subject would be immediately dismissed; so, too, the previous question could be moved when there was before the assembly a motion either to commit, or to postpone definitely or indefinitely, just as in Congress, notwithstanding that, according to English parliamentary law, the previous question could not be moved under such circumstances.

认真地探究人的智慧本质，他和大多数西方哲人一样，发现人是一种最难被道理说服的动物。当发生分歧的时候，不管分歧的基础是什么，或者出于利益冲突，或者出于信仰理念，或者出于知识经验的不同，反正一旦分歧明确公开，是非常难以在短短几个钟头或几天里靠语言的交流来达到一方说服一方的。分歧的双方找到共同点的可能不是不存在，但是这需要有一定的交流机制，否则，一方说清楚了，另一方根本没听进去，还是白搭。

Previous research has shown that smoking cessation enables better health as well lower medical care utilization. However, previous research usually treated smoking as a time invariant variable and hence can not determine the actual economic impact of smoking as time passes. In addition, previous research differs in research design and limited in duration of follow-up after smoking cessation. Hence it is necessary to conduct a study with longer period of follower-up.

虽然有研究证实戒菸可改善健康状况、减少医疗利用，然而上述研究有些系横断性，有些将吸菸状态设计为不随时间改变(time-invariant)的变项，无法呈现随时间改变的吸菸状态对医疗利用的影响；另外过去研究结果依研究设计、追踪年数不同而有所差异，若能追踪较长的时间，更可厘清戒菸时间与医疗利用间的关系。
