The object most prominent to his mind in the estate was not the azote nor the oxygen in the soil or the atmosphere, not a particular plough nor manure, but the principal agent by means of which the azote and the oxygen and the plough and the manure were all made effectual—that is, the labourer, the peasant.

他的目光总是盯着整个庄园，而不是庄园的某一部门，在庄园里，主要的东西不是存在于土壤和空气中的氮和氧，不是特别的犁和粪肥，而是使氮、氧、粪肥和犁发生作用的主要手段，也就是农业劳动者。

The web is not a fad, and it is not a world that doesn't exist.

网站不是风靡一时的东西，它不是虚幻的，是真实存在的世界，我们应该这样看待网络。

Perhaps I am not asking this question in all seriousness, and I shall probably continue my superficial life; but can you not tell me something that will remain in me like a seed and geminate in spite of me?

也许，我对这个问题的态度还是不认真，我很可能会继续我那肤浅的生活。但你能不能告诉我，我里面是够还有像种子一类的东西存在着？

And therefore if he foreknows from all eternity not only the deeds of men but even their plans and desires, there will be no free will; for it will be impossible for there to be any deed at all or any desire whatever except that which divine providence, which cannot be mistaken, perceives beforehand.

如果他不仅永远预见到人的行动，而且甚至预见到他们的谋划和欲望，那么就不会有自由意志，因为除了不会有误的神的旨意事先察觉到的东西以外，根本不可能存在任何行动或欲望。

As soon as what is unconcealed no longer concerns man even as object, but does so, rather, exclusively as standing -reserve, and man in the midst of objectifying is nothing but the order of the standing-reserve, then he comes to the very brink of a precipitous fall, that is, he comes to the point where he himself will have to be taken as standing-reserve.

这种要求在现代技术中以决定性的方式规定和确立了人与其他存在者的关系：人对最不相同的存在领域的事物进行长期不懈的处置，直到认识一切东西的原因和结果，从而获得统治和支配的力量。这种要求形成了现代技术的&座架&本质，现代技术正是形而上学思维方式连续发展的结果。

In A Book of Silence, the writer Sara Maitland discovered that silence is "not an absence of sound but the presence of something that is not sound".

We have no common name for a mime of Sophron or Xenarchus and a Socratic Conversation; and we should still be without one even if the imitation in the two instances were in trimeters or elegiacs or some other kind of verse--though it is the way with people to tack on 'poet' to the name of a metre, and talk of elegiac-poets and epic-poets, thinking that they call them poets not by reason of the imitative nature of their work, but indiscriminately by reason of the metre they write in.

索夫农 、森那库斯和苏格拉底式的对话采用的模仿没有一个公共的名称；三音步诗、挽歌体或其他类型的诗的模仿也没有——人们把&诗人&这一名词和格律名称结合到一起，称之为挽歌体诗人或者史诗诗人，他们被称为诗人，似乎只是因为遵守格律写作，而非他们作品的模仿本质。
