一点一点地

To oversee all the details yourself in person; to be at once pilot and captain, and owner and underwriter; to buy and sell and keep the accounts; to read every letter received, and write or read every letter sent; to superintend the discharge of imports night and day; to be upon many parts of the coast almost at the same time -- often the richest freight will be discharged upon a Jersey shore;-- to be your own telegraph, unweariedly sweeping the horizon, speaking all passing vessels bound coastwise; to keep up a steady despatch of commodities, for the supply of such a distant and exorbitant market; to keep yourself informed of the state of the markets, prospects of war and peace everywhere, and anticipate the tendencies of trade and civilization -- taking advantage of the results of all exploring expeditions, using new passages and all improvements in navigation;-- charts to be studied, the position of reefs and new lights and buoys to be ascertained, and ever, and ever, the logarithmic tables to be corrected, for by the error of some calculator the vessel often splits upon a rock that should have reached a friendly pier -- there is the untold fate of La Perouse;-- universal science to be kept pace with, studying the lives of all great discoverers and navigators, great adventurers and merchants, from Hanno and the Phoenicians down to our day; in fine, account of stock to be taken from time to time, to know how you stand.

亲自照顾一切大小事务；兼任领航员与船长，业主与保险商；买进卖出又记账；收到的信件每封都读过，发出的信件每封都亲自撰写或审阅；日夜监督进口货的卸落；几乎在海岸上的许多地方，你都同时出现了似的；——那装货最多的船总是在泽西岸上卸落的；——自己还兼电报员，不知疲倦地发通讯到远方去，和所有驰向海岸的船只联络；稳当地售出货物，供给远方的一个无餍足的市场，既要熟悉行情，你还要明了各处的战争与和平的情况，预测贸易和文明的趋向；——利用所有探险的成果，走最新的航道，利用一切航海技术上的进步；——再要研究海图，确定珊瑚礁和新的灯塔、浮标的位置，而航海图表是永远地改而又改，因为若计算上有了一点错误，船只会冲撞在一块岩石上而至于粉碎的，不然它早该到达了一个友好的码头了——，此外，还有拉·贝鲁斯的未知的命运；——还得步步跟上宇宙科学，要研究一切伟大的发现者、航海家、探险家和商人，从迦太探险家饭能和腓尼基人直到现在所有这些人的一生，最后，时刻要记录栈房中的货物，你才知道自己处于什么位置上。

The burdock never grows alone, but where there grows one there alwaysgrow several: it is a great delight, and all this delightfulness is snails

牛蒡从来不单独地生长；不，凡是长着一棵牛蒡的地方，你一定可以找到好几棵。这是它最可爱的一点，而这一点对蜗牛说来只不过是食料。

The burdock never grows alone, but where there grows one there always grow several: it is a great delight, and all this delightfulness is snails' food.

With unerring African instinct, the negroes had all discovered that Gerald had a loud bark and no bite at all, and they took shameless advantage of him. The air was always thick with threats of selling slaves south and of direful whippings, but there never had been a slave sold from Tara and only one whipping, and that administered for not grooming down Gerald's pet horse after, a long day's hunting.

那些具有非洲人精确本能的黑奴，都发现杰拉尔德尽管大喊大叫，但并不怎么厉害，所以他们便肆无忌惮地利用这一点，表面上经常存在这样的威胁，说是要把奴隶卖到南方去，或者要狠狠地鞭打他们，但实际上塔拉农场从来没有卖过一个奴隶，鞭打的事也只发生过一次，那是因为没有把杰拉尔德的狩猎了一整天的爱马认真地刷洗一下。

I thought once--I meant once to--to make her an offer by and by, when this horrible mystery about George Talboys should have been cleared up and everything peacefully settled--but now-- His thoughts would ordinarily wander away at this point of his reflections, carrying him where he never had intended to go; carrying him back under the pine-trees in Dorsetshire, and setting him once more face to face with the sister of his missing friend, and it was generally a very laborious journey by which he travelled back to the point from which he had strayed.

我一度想到过——我的意思是我一度想到过将来慢慢的要向她求婚，那时候关于乔治·托尔博伊斯的可怕的秘密搞清楚了，一切都和平解决了——可现在——他的思想考虑到这一点时，往往游离开去，把他带到了他最不想去的地方；把他带回多塞特郡梨树下，让他跟他失踪的朋友的妹妹面对面地相会；而他要回到已经游离的这一点上来，通常总要经过一段辛苦艰难的路程。

On visits home I had to make a conscious decision whether to exaggerate or downplay the exoticism.

回到美国后，我得有意识地做个决定，对在北京生活的这段日子，是说得夸张一点好呢，还是平淡一点好。

Having thus fed him with boil'd Meat and Broth, I was resolv'd to feast him the next Day with roasting a Piece of the Kid; this 1 did by hanging it before the Fire, in a String, as I had seen many People do in England, setting two Poles up, one on each side the Fire, and one cross on the Top, and tying the String to the Cross-stick, letting the Meat turn continually: This Friday admir'd very much; but when he came to taste the Flesh, he took so many ways to tell me how well he lik'd it, that I could not but understand him; and at last he told me he would never eat Man's Flesh any more, which I was very glad to hear.

可是，后来没有碰到任何可以值得开枪的目标，就只把那只小羊带回了家。当晚我就把它剥皮，把肉切好。我本来就有一只专门煮肉的罐子，就把一部分肉放到里面煮起来，做成了鲜美的羊肉汤。我先吃了一点，然后也给了点他吃。他吃了之后，感到非常高兴，并表示很喜欢吃。但最使他感到奇怪的是，他看到我在肉和肉汤里放盐。他向我做手势，表示盐不好吃。他把一点盐放在嘴里，做出作呕的样子，呸呸地吐了一阵子，又赶紧用清水嗽了嗽口。

A gentle failure of the perceptions comes creeping over one:--the sprit of consciousnes disengages itself more and more ,with slow and hushing degress like a mother detaching her hand from that of her sleeping child,--the mind seems to have a balmy lid closing over it ,like the eye,it is closing,it is more closing,it is closed.

身上的知觉渐渐地迟钝，心里的意识一点点松懈，就像母亲从睡着的孩子手里把自己的手慢慢地，悄悄地抽了出来，把你的心灵关上，它关住一店，再关住一点，最后完全关住了。

The swineherd--that is to say--the Prince, for no one knew that he was other than an ill-favored swineherd, let not a day pass without working at something; he at last constructed a rattle, which, when it was swung round, played all the waltzes and jig tunes, which have ever been heard since the creation of the world.

那个猪倌，也就是说，那位王子--她们当然一点也不知道他是王子，都以为他只是一个猪倌--是决不会让一天白白地过去而不做出一点事情来的。因此他又做了一个能发出嘎嘎声的玩具。你只要把猪倌玩具旋转几下，它就能奏出大家从开天辟地以来就知道的"华尔兹舞曲"、"快步舞曲"和"波兰舞曲"。

With Death guitarist Schuldiner adopting vocal duties, the band made a major impact on the scene.

随着死亡的吉他手Schuldiner接受主唱的职务，乐队在现实中树立了重要的影响。

But he could still end up breakfasting on Swiss-government issue muesli because all six are accused of nicking around 45 million pounds they should have paid to FIFA.

不过他最后仍有可能沦为瑞士政府&议事餐桌&上的一道早餐，因为这所有六个人都被指控把本应支付给国际足联的大约4500万英镑骗了个精光。
