It was very exciting at that season to roam the then boundless chestnut woods of Lincoln —— they now sleep their long sleep under the railroad —— with a bag on my shoulder, and a stick to open burs with in my hand, for I did not always wait for the frost, amid the rustling of leaves and the loud reproofs of the red squirrels and the jays, whose half-consumed nuts I sometimes stole, for the burs which they had selected were sure to contain sound ones.

这样的季节里，倘徜在林肯一带无边无际的栗树林中，真是非常兴奋的，——现在，这些栗树却长眠在铁道之下了，——那时我肩上扛了一只布囊，手中提了一根棍棒来打开那些有芒刺的果子，因为我总是等不到霜降的，在枯叶飒飒声和赤松鼠跟樫鸟聒噪责怪声中漫游，有时我还偷窃它们已经吃了一部分的坚果，因为它们所选中的有芒刺的果子中间，一定有一些是较好的。

The finding of the blue-shifted F-He-H... Y (Y=N〓, CO and He) systems, where the proton-donor was incapable of rehybridization, indicated that rehybridization is not a generally application driving force for the blue shift. There were other two novel blue-shifted systems discovered in this study. They were lithium bonding systems and dihydrogen bonding systems. On the basis of state-of-art NBO analyses and potential energy surface analysis, it was demonstrated that Pauli/nuclei repulsions cause the blue shift.

在对蓝移理论的研究中，本文发现了一类质子给予体不能进行重杂化的氢键蓝移体系，说明了&超共轭—重杂化&理论的不完善；而将Pauli／nuclei排斥理论应用到本文新发现的两类蓝移体系——锂键体系和双氢键体系，可以很好的解释它们的蓝移现象，从而更进一步的扩展了这一理论。

And hold fast, all together, by the rope which Allah, and be not divided among yourselves; and remember with gratitude Allah's favour on you; for ye were enemies and He joined your hearts in love, so that by His Grace, ye became brethren; and ye were on the brink of the pit of Fire, and He saved you from it.

那就是，他们或许还会开一排枪，目的是想让他们的伙伴听见。我们应趁他们刚开完枪，就一拥而上。那时他们只好束手就擒，我们就可以不流一滴血把他们制服。我对这个建议很满意。但是，我们必须尽量接近他们，在他们来不及装上弹药前就冲上去。

When they were close up with one another, the son of Atreus missed his aim, and Iphidamas hit him on the girdle below the cuirass and then flung himself upon him, trusting to his strength of arm; the girdle, however, was not pierced, nor nearly so, for the point of the spear struck against the silver and was turned aside as though it had been lead: King Agamemnon caught it from his hand, and drew it towards him with the fury of a lion; he then drew his sword, and killed Iphidamas by striking him on the neck.

According to the clear water experiment, aeration performance of the new equipment is good with high total oxygen transfer coefficient and oxygen utilization ratio.

曝气设备的动力效率在叶轮转速为120rpm～150rpm时取得最大值，此时氧利用率和充氧能力也具有较高值。

The environmental stability of that world - including its crushing pressures and icy darkness - means that some of its most famous inhabitants have survived for eons as evolutionary throwbacks, their bodies undergoing little change.
