查询词典 rather

Order a carafe of house wine instead of a bottle of fine wine (saves $20 in Rome). Choose a two-star hotel rather than a three-star one (saves $60 per night in Paris). Buy the transit pass rather than individual tickets (saves $5 per ride on London's Tube). Buy a scratch-off phone card at a European newsstand for calls home, and you'll pay pennies rather than dollars per minute.

来回去机场坐公交比打车省钱（节省40美元，在维也纳），点那种与饭菜搭售的酒比单点一瓶好酒便宜（节省20美元，在罗马），选择二星级酒店比选择三星级酒店好（每晚节省60美元，在巴黎），购买国境通行证比单个人的票要好（节省5美元，在伦敦地铁），从欧洲那种报亭买刮式电话卡给家里打电话，每分钟只要几便士，而不是几美元。

I mean above all the city of London, which we can see behind you is one of the most enormous financial services capital, that's really what lifts London, rather than doing business, making widgets is rather harder, isn't it?

伦敦城，我是指在你背后我们可以看到的这个城市，是一个庞大的金融服务首都，是这些抬高了伦敦在金融界的地位，而不是仅仅做生意。做小部件往往更难，不是吗？

A second complication arising from the merger is that the 1977 figures shown in this report are different from the 1977 figures shown in the report we mailed to you last year. Accounting convention requires that when two entities such as Diversified and Berkshire are merged, all financial data subsequently must be presented as if the companies had been merged at the time they were formed rather than just recently. So the enclosed financial statements, in effect, pretend that in 1977 the Diversified-Berkshire merger already had taken place, even though the actual merger date was December 30, 1978. This shifting base makes comparative commentary confusing and, from time to time in our narrative report, we will talk of figures and performance for Berkshire shareholders as historically reported to you rather than as restated after the Diversified merger.

合并案所引发的第二项影响则是今年报表中秀出1977年的数字与去年提供给各位同一年度的数字有所不同，会计原则要求当像多元零售与伯克希尔这样二个独立个体合并时，所有报告的财务数字都必须假设这两家公司原本就在一起，所以后续呈现所有数字，是假设这两家公司早在1977年就已经合并，虽然真正合并的日期是1978年的12月30日，这样的改变使得比较性的评论很容易产生混淆，因为以往的报告中，我们告诉各位的都是伯克希尔的历史记录，而非依照合并多元零售后重新修正数字。

Meanwhile, the concentration of Pb,Zn and other heavy metals is rather high in the oxidation zone and decreasesdownward to levels that are unbelievably low for Pb-Zn mine tailings. Theseobservations suggest that heavy metals should be re-immobilized by secondaryminerals, rather than primary minerals, in the oxidation zone, and could be leachedout from suboxic environment due to low rate oxidative dissolution which preventsthe precipitation of secondary minerals in significant amount. Thus, cover scenarioswhich establish a suboxic environment beneath the cover layer might not always beeffective in preventing heavy metal release from mine tailings.Sequential extraction studies indicate that, in addition to heavy metal leaching,oxidation of the mine tailings increased the mobility of residual Zn, and Cu, while Pb remains immobile due to the formation of anglesite (PbSO4). Using the seven-step extraction technique developed by Dold (J. Geochem. Explor., 2003, 80: 55-68), galena dissolves in significant amount at step 2 most probably due to the strong complexing of Pb2+ by acetate, while other metal sulfides dissolve at step 6, which suggest that this extraction technique could not be used to evaluate the mobility of lead in natural environment

重金属含量均低于新鲜尾矿，但以硬化层中的含量最高(Pb、Zn含量分别为0.47%和0.93%)，往下大幅度降低，表明尾矿风化过程中形成的次生矿物对Pb、Zn等重金属元素有较强的固定作用，而次氧化带的淋溶作用造成了金属元素的大量流失；(4)与新鲜尾矿相比，硬化层中铅的可迁移性大大降低，硬化层之下尾矿样品中铅的可迁移性也不同程度降低，这是由于硫化物氧化产生的硫酸根与尾矿中的铅反应形成铅矾(PbSO_4)的缘故；(5)氧化作用使尾矿中的zn、Cu等重金属的可迁移性不同程度地增大，其中对锌的可迁移性影响最大，铜的可迁移性与铁比较相似，铅则容易与硫化物氧化形成的SO_4~(2-)反应形成铅矾(PbSO_4)；(6)为了减少尾矿污染和修复矿山环境，人们提出了各种不同的尾矿覆盖方案，本文的研究结果表明，这些方法不一定能够有效地阻滞污染元素的迁移。

At one's worst Back 意群提示 Anyone, once involved in the river of love, be involved in the river of love / see one at always wishes his sweetheart to see him at his one's best / rather than best rather than at his worst.

新视野 -短语应用任何人一旦被卷入爱河，任何人一旦被卷入爱河，短总希望心上人看到自己语最差的时候；最差的时候；最糟最好的一面，最好的一面，而不是最逆译糕的时候糟的一面。

From inside information extending over a series of years Mr Bloom was rather inclined to poohpooh the suggestion as egregious balderdash for, pending that consummation devoutly to be or not to be wished for, he was fully cognisant of the fact that their neighbours across the channel, unless they were much bigger fools than he took them for, rather concealed their strength than the opposite.

204根据经年累月的内幕消息，布卢姆先生颇倾向于把上述见解看作是荒谬透顶的胡言乱语，嗤之以鼻；因为姑且不论他是否衷心企盼那样一种结局，对这一事实他总是了如指掌：除非海峡对岸的那些邻人远比他所设想的还要愚蠢，否则与其认为他们在显示实力，毋宁说是藏而不露。

"The reason we're losing natural capital is because it's free," says Ed Barbier, noting that we often think of conservation in terms of its costs rather than its value, and regard manufactured goods in terms of value rather than their environmental costs.

Ed Barbier认为我们经常从自然的损耗而不是它的价值来考虑保护环境，而对于制成品，我们考虑的是它的价值而非它对大自然的损耗。

And I'd rather be known for my career rather than my whereabouts.

我宁愿知道我的职业胜于我的下落。

Would you rather stay in the classroom?I'd rather have a cup of black tea.

在wish后的从句中，用一般过去时表示与现在事实相反的意思。

Great. What repertoire did you see?

太棒了。你看的是什么剧目？

I prepared not to accept such ridiculousness:"Please," I said to him.

我可不想理会这套荒谬的东西："请你通情达理一点儿。"
