亚当的

"I have you both beaten," the lawyer gloated."Before Adam and Eve, before the Garden of Eden, before all creation, there was a state of chaos, and who do you think could have created that?"

&你们俩的都不如我的早，&律师得意地说：&在亚当和夏娃之前，在伊甸园之前，在所有这些创造之前，有个混沌的世界，你们知道，是谁制造了那个混沌的世界吗？&

A veritable Zelig of early American history, Elbridge Gerry signed the Declaration of Independence, hobnobbed with the likes of John Adams and John Hancock and served as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention (where he refused to sign the Constitution because he did not like the way it was written).

是美国早期历史上一位货真价实的泽里格[1]式人物。埃尔布里奇·杰利是《独立宣言》的签字人之一；与约翰·亚当斯和约翰·汉考克一类的人物过从甚密；曾出任制宪会议的代表（他拒绝在宪法上签字，因为不喜欢其起草方式。

Adam: True, but globalization has its downsides too. There is concern about multinational companies mistreating their workers in developing countries as well as damaging the environment there.

亚当：那是事实，但全球化也有它的不足之处，这关系到它的跨国公司在发展中国家虐待他们的员工，并且还对那里的环境造成破坏。

But decades after Adam Smith had identified the market's "invisible hand", a class of scrappier merchants was emerging in America.

但在亚当·斯密举起市场那只&看不见的手&的几十年之后，一个由更好战的商人组成的新兴阶层在美国出现了。

Adams jumped onto the Buzz-Oven network, posting an online self-portrait (dark hair tied back, tongue out, goofy eyes for the cam) and listing her favorite music so she could connect with other Toadies fans.

亚当斯开始在Buzz-Oven网站活跃起来，上传自己的在线自画像（黑色的马尾辫；吐舌；呆滞的眼睛），列出自己最喜爱的乐曲名单，这样，她就可以与那些同是Toadies粉丝们取得联系。

A close reading of Adam Bede from social and ethical perspectives, however, reveals that George Eliot has struck none other than the anti-hegemony note, transfiguring the whole novel into a melody which queries the speed of social development, the "cash-nexus", and the reality characterized by the disintegration of social and moral standards.

然而，如果我们从社会伦理的角度来细读《亚当比德》的文本，就不难发现乔治爱略特恰恰奏出了霸权主旋律的反调，奏出了一组质疑速度、质疑&现金联结&、质疑社会伦理道德失范这一现实的音律。

In the Fall, man refused to listen to the spirit, and became the slave of the body. The spirit in man became utterly darkened.

He dragged you through an Arkansas post-oak swamp, let you dry for a moment on the alkali plains of his Idaho ranch, then whirled you into the society of Viennese archdukes.

我确信自己终于发现了从亚当以来的第一个真正的世界公民，我倾听他纵横整个世界的宏论，生怕从中发现他仅仅是个环球旅行的地方口音。

A necdotal as these examples are, they get to the crux of the American Dream as Adams saw it: that life in the United States offered personal liberties and opportunities to a degree unmatched by any other country in history—a circumstance that remains true today, some ill-considered clampdowns in the name of Homeland Security notwithstanding.

从这些无数的轶事中，美国人得到正如亚当斯所见的美国梦的核心：美国给人自由，提供了在历史上任何一个国家都无法给予的机遇，而这些，在如今仍然适用，尽管安全局考虑不周取缔了一些东西。

On Thursday July 30th, Barack Obama, clasping a Bud Light, met James Crowley, a white police sergeant apparently partial to a Blue Moon and Henry Louis Gates, a black Harvard professor who glugged on a Sam Adams Light. The three, along with Joe Biden, the vice-president and Buckler man, met to chat about an incident that has become known as Gatesgate. After the past week, Mr Obama probably found his cold beer unusually welcome.

周四，即7月30日，奥巴马拿着百威淡啤，接见了一名白人警官詹姆斯克罗雷，很明显这是绝无仅有的现象，以及亨利路易斯盖次，哈佛大学的一位黑人教授，该教授由萨姆·亚当斯陪同，这3人，连同副总统乔拜登以及警卫人员见面畅谈著名的盖次门事件，自上周后，奥巴马也许发现他的冰啤颇受欢迎。

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。
