不说话

Friends who are near to me I know well, because through the months and years they reveal themselves to me in all their phases; but of casual friends I have only an incompl ete impression, an impression gained from a handclasp, spoken words.

我了解与我亲近的朋友，因为经过漫长的岁月，他们在多方面向我揭示了他们自己；而对于偶尔相识的朋友，我只有一种不完全的印象——这是一种通过握手和说话而获得的印象。

Hey, you're supposed to be my friend, not ethel's.

嘿，你该帮我说话，而不是埃塞尔

Her accent is not particularly out of place and it's impossible to pinpoint her ethnicity.

她说话的时候不带任何口音，我们无法判断她的种族，也无从知道为何她要做出这样的决定。

Sometimes you are so evasive . I think you don't want to marry me at all.

有时候，你说话的那股吞吞吐吐劲儿，我真以为你压根儿不想跟我结婚。

In her evasiveness she paused again, and the younger children had by this time crept to the door, where, pulling at his mother's skirts, the youngest murmured-- 'Is this the gentleman who is going to marry Tess?

她说话闪烁其词，又住口不说了；这时候，有几个小孩子走到门口，用手拉看母亲的裙子，其中最小的一个嘟哝着说——"要和苔丝结婚的是不是这位先生呀？"

Evidentially, we haven't. In fact, if the people of this country have spoken, the message is we're okay with it all. Torture, warrantless search and seizure, illegal wiretappings, prison without a fair trial or any trial, war on false pretenses. We, as a citizenry, are apparently not offended. There are no demonstrations on college campuses. In fact, there's no clear indication that young people even seem to notice.

事实上，如果这个国家的人说话了，他们说的是，我们对这些都无所谓，拷问，无照搜查，抓捕，非法窃听，无公正法庭的监押或任何不公正审判，欺诈的战争，我们作为公民显然都没被触犯，校园里没有游行，事实上，都没有明显的迹象表明年轻人在关注。

Nevertheless, I think this also is not evildoing certainly, this is I remind in hour --, work more little speech...

不过，我想这也不一定是坏事，这是在时刻提醒我———多做事少说话……幽默的开场白立刻引起了台下的笑声和掌声。

"Do you know," he said at last, I've had that same criticism passed on me once before - by a very great man, a scientist and evolutionist, Joseph Le Conte.

"你知道不？"他终于说话了，以前也有人这样批评过我——那是个非常伟大的人，一个科学家，进化论者，约瑟夫·勒孔特。

If you exaggerate, people will no longer believe you.

如果你说话虚夸，人们便不会相信你了。

I would have explained, but he kept talking, I didn't have chance to explain.

我本想解释一下，可是他不停地说，不给我说话的机会。

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。

The relationship between communicative competence and grammar teaching should be that of the ends and the means.

交际能力和语法的关系应该是目标与途径的关系。
