书呆子的

"In reality," observed Albert, he seemed to me somewhat eccentric; were he at Paris, and a frequenter of the theatres, I should say he was a poor devil literally mad.

假如他在巴黎，而且是戏院里的一个老观众，我就要说他是一个把世界当舞台的愤世嫉俗的丑角，或是一个读小说着了迷的书呆子。

Along with two new friends – one a nerd with a penchant for chicken lo mein, the other a man with Down's Syndrome – who help her navigate a rocky and often confusing path, Lily Sinclair discovers that sometimes family is only the people you choose, and that love can come in all different forms.

With his big shiny forehead and podgy face, he looked like the class swot, rather than a revolutionary.

It is also important to approach your studies with clear aims, rather than as an unfocused book-worm, he explains.

同样重要的是设立明确的学习目标，而不是当一个漫无目的的书呆子。

For an individual voter, being well-informed about every twist of public policy is an irrational use of time. But leaving a self-selecting elite of wonks and careerists in charge of policy-making is unappealing.

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.
