The classification is a little like a classification of English crimes, as being either (1) Treason or felony;(2)Misdemeanours at common law; or (3) Torts;and there is something of a resemblance between the way in which, in the course of ages, the publica Judicia and the Extraordinaria Crimina came to be formed into a single class of offences, as to all of which the punishment was more or less discretionary, and the gradual legislative removal in our own country of nearly every substantial distinetion between felony and misdemeanour.

这一分类有点象英国对犯罪的分类，就象（1）叛逆罪或重罪；（2）普通法上的轻罪；或（3）侵权行为。而且，在时代的进程中，公审罪与重罪最终演变成对其的惩罚或多或少地有自由裁量性的一个单一的犯罪类型，与我们国家关于重罪与轻罪之间的每一实质性的界限在立法上的逐步消除，在方式上具有某种相似之处。

That, coupled with a Texas drawl, a goofy grin and an inability to put forth bon mots in a spontaneous way, leaves the American public with a perception of him as something of a dimwit.

这，加上德州拉长，一个傻瓜露齿而无法提出祝你身为一个自发地离开了美国公众对他看成一个傻瓜。

Liverpool have a Midlands double-header after Christmas, hosting Wolves on Boxing Day before travelling to Villa just two days later. Although it could be much worse during a congested part of the football calendar, the fixture compilers have been kinder to both United (Hull away on the 26th, Wigan at home on the 28th) and Chelsea (Birmingham away on the 26th, Fulham at home on the 28th). Villa Park has been something of a happy hunting ground for Liverpool in recent years, though. It was 1998 when the Reds last tasted defeat there, after two Collymore goals completed a comeback for the home side who had gone behind to an early Michael Owen penalty. Since then, though, Liverpool are undefeated at Villa's ground, winning six and drawing five of their last 11 visits.

但是利物浦在圣诞节后，有两场重头戏现在节礼日做客狼队，然后两天后飞往维拉，相对于曼联（26号客场胡尔城，主场28号维甘）和切尔西（客场26号伯明翰和28号主场富勒姆），利物浦的赛程要糟糕得多，最近几年维拉公园总是利物浦得分天堂，尽管1998年利物浦1比2在维拉饮恨，当欧文点球首开纪录后，柯利莫尔的两粒进球帮助维拉取得胜利，自那时起，利物浦在维拉未尝败绩，他们在11场做客维拉的比赛中6胜5平。

"Eloge de l'amour"("In Praise of Love")(2001, Jean-Luc Godard): Lives up to the promise of its title: one of the most unusual, tremulous, and understated of love stories, as well as the story of love itself; a depiction of history in the present tense, as well as a virtual thesis on the filming of history; a work of art, as well as the story of the work at the origin of art; Godard's third first film, thus something of a rebirth of cinema.

《歌颂爱情》（2001年，吉-卢克高达德）：影如其名，它是最不寻常、最敏感、最朴素的爱情故事之一，本身也是关于爱情的电影；它以现代的视角描述历史，这也是电影史上非常现实的主题；它是艺术品，也是关于艺术起源的电影作品；它是卢克高达德导演的第三部作品，因此还有着电影艺术新生的意味。

I have just read in the paper that three elderly people , sharing an apartment and all confined to wheelchairs because of cerebral palsy , were robbed by intruders . Three Mexican tourists who could no English were charged $ 167 for a taxi ride from Kennedy International Airport to downtown New York . The 217 blind newsdealers of New York recently complained that their customers are stealing coins from their trays , shortchanging them ,and frequently mugging them on their way home at night . A savings bank guard who assisted blind customers with their deposit and withdrawal slips was recently charged with forgery and grand larceny after a blind depositor discovered her balance was $ 169 instead of the $ 2857 which her Braille accounting indicated should be there . During last year's Central Park Bicycle Race , five of the racers were attacked and had their bikes stolen while the race was in progress . This is something of a handicap in a bicycle race .

以下是我刚刚从报纸上读到的：有三位上了年纪的老人，他们住在同一间公寓里，因为患有脑瘫，他们都不得不坐在轮椅上度日，而就是这样可怜的弱者也遭到入室盗窃者的劫掠；三个不会讲英语的墨西哥游客从肯尼迪国际机场乘车到纽约市中心，司机宰客要价167美元；最近，又有217位盲眼卖报人哭诉他们的辛酸遭遇：路人们从他们的盘子里偷走硬币，顾客经常少找钱，在夜间回家时屡遭劫匪光顾；一家银行专门协助盲人顾客办理存储手续的工作人员最近被控伪造文件和欺诈，因为他的一名顾客发现自己的账目上少了一大笔钱，2857美元的存款只剩下167美元；在去年中央公园自行车赛期间，有5位参赛者遭到攻击并被人抢走自行车，这让比赛可笑的成为了"障碍赛"。

In the Theaetetus Plato tried to show the danger of conceiving the world as but a Heraclitean flux; for discourse to be possible, we need something like general terms. Or in other words, there must be something more than the mere perception of each individual in each moment. This "must" is not the Kantian "must"--in the sense of a transcendental precondition for cognition--but a "must" that is thoroughly practical: without general terms, we cannot even talk to each other.

这套想法的内容本身，我是同意的；但我不大认同这种笛卡儿式的method of doubt(即为了捉紧一些颠扑不破的真理而在方法上质疑一切有理由被质疑的见解)，尤其是在灵性而非物性的探索上，因为这种怀疑方法所带来的结论，往往不会令人高呼Heureka，而只会使人吐出一句so what--你考虑的可能是某种观念的实际意义，而我重视的则是某种方法的实用价值。

Draco is something of a whiner, or at least he is not above using a relatively minor injury to his own advantage. When a hippogriff slashed his arm in the fall of 1993, Draco used this as an excuse to skip a week's worth of lessons, to force other students to do his work for him, and to avoid having to play a tough Quidditch match in unfavorable weather.

德拉科有点爱哭诉，至少他是那种会利用一个相对很小的伤口来得到自身利益的人。1993年的秋天，一头鹰头马身有翼兽划伤了他的手臂，德拉科借故逃了相当于一周的课，迫使别人替他完成工作，同时还避免了在恶劣的天气下参加一场艰苦的魁地奇比赛。

Anne Odell had a habit of taking spiders to school in a matchbox, which not all her classmates cared for. One day in 1952, her father decided to give her something different, and less scary, to take in her Norvic Match Co box, and fashioned a tiny model of a road-roller, crafted in brass and painted red and green.

Anne Odell有一个习惯就是把蜘蛛放进火柴盒中并且带到学校，但不是所有同学都会关注这个。1952年的一天，她的父亲决定送她一些与众不同却又不至于吓人的东西——在她的Norvic Match Co box里面放进一个铜制的model of a road-roller，并且漆上红色和绿色。

In years gone by, high-end stereos were something of a status symbol, something to show off, like a new HD TV these days.

从前高级立体声音响是地位的象徵，是一种可以炫耀的东西，就像今日的HD电视。

Something of 多少有点 He's something of a book collector.

10，正如一句谚语所说的。。。（写作文常用，用于引用一个谚语

Breath, muscle contraction of the buttocks; arch body, as far as possible to hold his head, right leg straight towards the ceiling (peg-leg knee in order to avoid muscle tension).

呼气，收缩臀部肌肉；拱起身体，尽量抬起头来，右腿伸直朝向天花板（膝微屈，以避免肌肉紧张）。

The cost of moving grain food products was unchanged from May, but year over year are up 8%.

粮食产品的运输费用与5月份相比没有变化，但却比去年同期高8％。
