从左右两边

These Thoughts so oppress'd my Mind, that I began to give over my Enterprize, and having haled my Boat into a little Creek on the Shore, I stept out, and sat me down upon a little rising bit of Ground, very pensive and anxious, between Fear and Desire about my Voyage; when as I was musing, I could perceive that the Tide was turn'd, and the Flood come on, upon which my going was for so many Hours impracticable; upon this presently it occurr'd to me, that I should go up to the highest Piece of Ground I could find, and observe, if I could, how the Sets of the Tide, or Currents lay, when the Flood came in, that I might judge whether if I was driven one way out, I might not expect to be driven another way home, with the same Rapidness of the Currents: This Thought was no sooner in my Head, but I cast my Eye upon a little Hill, which sufficiently over-look'd the Sea both ways, and from whence I had a clear view of the Currents, or Sets of the Tide, and which way I was to guide my self in my Return; here I found, that as the Current of the Ebb set out close by the South Point of the Island; so the Current of the Flood set in close by the Shore of the North Side, and that I had nothing to do but to keep to the North of the Island in my Return, and I should do well enough.

我思想压力很大，不得不考虑放弃原定的计划。我把小船拉进沿岸的一条小河里，自己迈步上岸，在一块小小的高地上坐下来沉思。我心情忧郁，心绪不宁。我害怕死，又想前去探个究竟。正当我沉思默想之际，只见潮流起了变化，潮水开始上涨。这样，我一时肯定走不成了。这时，我忽然想到，应该找一个最高的地方，上去观察一下潮水上涨时那两股急流的流向，从中我可以作出判断，万一我被一股急流冲入大海，是否有可能被另一股急流冲回来。我刚想到这一层，就看见附近有一座小山；从山上可以看到左右两边的海面，并对两股急流的流向可以一目了然，从而可以确定我回来时应走哪一个方向。到了山上，我发现那退潮的急流是沿着小岛的南部往外流的，而那涨潮的急流是沿着小岛的北部往里流的。这样，我回来时，小舟只要沿着北部行驶，自然就可以被涨潮的急流带回来。

In the second act there was scenery representing monuments, and a hold in the drop at the back that represented the moon, and shades were put over the footlights, and trumpets and bassoons began playing, and a number of people came in on the right and on the left wearing black cloaks.

第二幕的布景是水彩画上的纪念碑，画布上的圆窟窿用以表示月亮，拉起了脚灯灯罩，他们开始吹低音小号，拉低音提琴，许多穿黑袍的人从左右两边走出来。

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。
