不高贵的

My father is too dignified to do anything so low.

我高贵的父亲不可能做如此低级的事。

These boastings have always shocked me, for I reverence love as the noblest of the passions, and it is impossible for me to conceive how one who has truly fallen victim to its benign influence can ever thereafter speak flippantly of it.

这些自夸之词令我震惊，因为我把'爱情'视为一种高贵的激情，对之深怀敬畏。再者说，一个曾真正堕入'爱情'之温柔陷阱的人，此后又如何能反复轻率地谈论它呢，这对我来说简直不能想像。

But, my good friend, reflect whether that which is noble and good is not something different from saving and being saved; for as to a man living such or such a time, at least one who is really a man, consider if this is not a thing to be dismissed from the thoughts: and there must be no love of life: but as to these matters a man must intrust them to the deity and believe what the women say, that no man can escape his destiny, the next inquiry being how he may best live the time that he has to live.

我的好朋友，且想想那高贵的和善的事情是不是某种与拯救和得救不同的事情；因为对一个生活这么长或那么长一段时间的人、至少是一个真正的人来说，考虑一下，是否这不是一件脱离这种思想的事情：那儿一定不存在对生命的任何爱恋，但关于这些事情，一个人必须把它们托付给神，并相信命运女神所说的，没有谁能逃脱自己的命运，接着要探究的是：他如何才能最好地度过他必须度过的这一段时间。

He forgot the mute inglorious Miltons who die voiceless and inarticulate for want of that dogged perseverance, that blind courage, which the poet must possess before he can find a publisher; he forgot the Cromwells, who see the noble vessel--political economy--floundering upon a sea of confusion, and going down in a tempest of noisy bewilderment, and who yet are powerless to get at the helm, forbidden even to send out a life-boat to the sinking ship.

他忘记了：许多缄默的不出名的弥尔顿①们，无声无息地死了，是由于他们在找得到出版商之前，缺乏诗人所必须具备的固执坚持和盲目的勇气；他忘记了：克伦威尔们②眼看着高贵的政治经济之船在一片混乱的大海之中摇摇晃晃，正在令人手足无措的一片喧哗的暴风雨之中逐渐下沉，却无权力为之掌舵，甚至不许可为这沉船派一条救生艇去。

The women who are not so beautiful but are nice women are born in noble think we are only after their lordliness.

不是很漂亮但是很好又出身高贵的女人会认为我们看上去是他们的权势。

Some of the best and most honored women I know were poor girls, but so love-worthy that they were not allowed to be old maids.

我所知道的一些最优秀、最高贵的女士原来也是出身寒门，但她们为人所爱慕，根本不可能成为老处女。耐心等待吧！

Menelaus has just vanquished Alexandrus, and is to take my hateful self back with him.

也许，那里也有一位你所钟爱的凡人？是不是因为墨奈劳斯已打败高贵的帕里斯

But I might learn something of mindlessness, something of the purity of living in the physical senses and the dignity of living without bias or motive.

但是我可以学到一点儿悠然自得，追随自己的感官需要，不带任何动机，任何偏见，这样单纯而高贵的生活。

But you couldn't get along without masters of some sort, and there arose a new set of masters - not the great, virile, noble men, but the shrewd and spidery traders and money-lenders.

可是没有某种意义上的主人你们过不下去，于是出现了一批新主人--不是那种伟大的、精力充沛的、高贵的人，而是些蜘蛛一样的精明的生意人，放债人。

We have so noble people. Elderships, we should use much more opening policy ,the reformational system and much more droit endow with our noble people.

我们有如此高贵的人民，阁下们，难道我们不应该用更开放的经济政策、体制改革回报我们的人民吗，难道我们不应该把更多的权力赋予我们的人民吗？

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
