不美的

Bell鑣 paintings and lithographs, one a set of cuneiform-like black squares imprinted on ivory paper — an alphabet, he explained, based on his impressions of ancient Mesopotamian art.

墙上挂着贝勒斯先生的画作和平板印刷品，其中一幅是一套黑色正方形，类似楔形文字，压印在象牙纸上——字母表，他解释说，根据古代美索不达米亚作品印象而作。

Long ago it was called Mesopotamia, which means "the land between the rivers."

很久以前，人们称它为美索不达米亚，意为&河流之间的陆地&。

Said the eye one day,"I see beyond these valleys a mountain veiled with blue mist. Is it not beautiful?"

一天，眼睛说：&我看见这些山谷外有座被蓝雾遮掩的山，那不是很美吗？&

And that, in turn, helps explain why China's savings are so high -- and why the much-discussed U.S.-China trade deficit remains intact.

这也解释了中国储蓄率何以高居不下，以及引起激烈讨论的美中贸易逆差为何仍然不见好转。

It was not until the reign of Naboplashar (625-605 BC) of the Neo-Babylonian dynasty that the Mesopotamian civilization reached its ultimate glory.

但是直到新巴比伦王朝，美索不达米亚文明才达到了它的鼎盛时期。

But, if this world is not merely a bad joke, life a vulgar flare amid the cool radiance of the stars, and existence an empty laugh braying across the mysteries; if these intimations of a something behind and beyond are not evil humor born of indigestion or whimsies sent by the devil to mock and madden us, if, in a word, beauty means something, yet we must not seek to interpret the meaning.

但是，即使这个世界不仅仅是个拙劣的玩笑，生命不仅仅是星体交织的寒光中的一点平庸的火花。人生也不仅仅是喧噪于神秘之乡的空虚的一笑；即使这一切发自那既不渴望也不可及的某种事物的启示，不是由于内在的失调而迸发的邪恶之念，也不是魔鬼用来嘲弄和激怒我们的奇谈怪论，一句话，徜若美具有某种意义，我们还是不要试图去了解释它的意义为好。

China clearly does not want to push this too far, mindful perhaps of the huge crisis in relations that occurred in 2001 when a Chinese fighter jet crashed into an American spyplane, forcing it to land at a Chinese airbase. The American crew was held for 11 days.

可能是考虑到2001年，中国一架战斗机撞向一架美国侦察机，迫其降落在一个中国机场，导致美国飞行员滞留了11天，给中美关系造成的巨大冲击，这一次中国显然不想让事态扩大化。

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.

稳定的海底环境─包括能把人压扁的压力和冰冷的黑暗─意谓海底某些最知名的栖居生物已以演化返祖的样态活了万世，形体几无变化。
