不严肃

Since in every church what is approved by the greater and senior {13 } part of the brethren should unhesitatingly be observed, it is a very serious and blameworthy matter that in certain churches a few persons, sometimes not so much for a good reason as for their own will, frequently prevent an election and do not allow the ecclesiastical appointment to go forward.

因为在每一个教会是什么批准，由大和高级（ 13 ）部分的弟兄，应该毫不迟疑地予以遵守，这是一个非常严肃和责备的事，在某些教会少数人，有时不那么多，为一个好理由，至于自己的意志，防止频繁的选举，不容许教会任命向前迈进。

What advantage is it to be a man, over it is to be a boy at school, if we have only escaped the ferula to come under the fescue of an Imprimatur; if serious and elaborate writings, as if they were no more than the theme of a grammar-lad under his pedagogue, must not be uttered without the cursory eyes of a temporizing and extemporizing licenser?

如果我们从老师的教鞭底下逃出来又落到了出版许可制的刑棍底下，如果严肃而认真的写作不过是课堂上一个文法练习题，不经过草率从事的检查员胡乱检查一下就不能发表；那末作为一个成年人又比一个学童能好多少呢？

Inelegance and counterintuitiveness are better than incoherence; so if good arguments force us to epiphenomenalism as the most coherent view, then we should take it seriously.

不雅和反直观总比不融贯好，所以，如果好论证逼迫我们到副现象上，那么我们应该严肃持有。

Established usage has been retained in regard to "may" do,"does"(establishes correct procedure without suggesting that violation be penalized)"should" do (failure to do it is an infraction jeopardizing the infractor's rights but not often penalized),"shall" do (a violation will incur a procedural penalty more often than not),"must" do (the strongest word, a serious matter indeed).

约定俗成的东西得到保留是出于以下考虑："可实行"，"实行"（不建议处罚违规而建立正确程序，应该实行（如果不实行，an infraction jeopardizing the infractor's rights but not often penalized），"将实行"（违规往往多半导致程序性判罚），"必须实行"（最强硬的措词，确实严肃的事情）。
