使落空

But the purpose is for us to know that, even though the devil moves every stone to destroy Christ's grace, and though God's enemies also rage with the same savage fury, it cannot be extinguished; nor can Christ's blood be made barren, nay, even some good may come of it.

「我信教会」这一子句是在使我们知道：虽然魔鬼想尽诡计来毁灭基督的恩典，而上帝的一切敌人也要施展狂暴以求达到同一目的，然而祂的恩典总不可能被消灭，而祂的宝血也决不会落空，归於徒然，必定成就善工。

I have been first, the most wretched of men, and then the most unhappy, and I have traversed sixty years of life on my knees, I have suffered everything that man can suffer, I have grown old without having been young, I have lived without a family, without relatives, without friends, without life, without children, I have left my blood on every stone, on every bramble, on every mile-post, along every wall, I have been gentle, though others have been hard to me, and kind, although others have been malicious, I have become an honest man once more, in spite of everything, I have repented of the evil that I have done and have forgiven the evil that has been done to me, and at the moment when I receive my recompense, at the moment when it is all over, at the moment when I am just touching the goal, at the moment when I have what I desire, it is well, it is good, I have paid, I have earned it, all this is to take flight, all this will vanish, and I shall lose Cosette, and I shall lose my life, my joy, my soul, because it has pleased a great booby to come and lounge at the Luxembourg.

为生活，我用膝头爬了六十年，我受尽了人能受的一切痛苦，我不曾有过青春便已老了，我一辈子没有家，没有父母，没有朋友，没有女人，没有孩子，我把我的血洒在所有的石头上，所有的荆棘上，所有的路碑上，所有的墙边，我向对我刻薄的人低声下气，向虐待我的人讨好，我不顾一切，还是去改邪归正，我为自己所作的恶忏悔，也原谅别人对我所作的恶，而正当我快要得到好报，正当那一切都已结束，正当我快达到目的，正当我快要实现我的心愿时，好，好得很，我付出了代价，我收到了果实，但一切又要完蛋，一切又要落空，我还要丢掉珂赛特，丢掉我的生命、我的欢乐、我的灵魂，因为这使一个到卢森堡公园来游荡的大傻子感到有乐趣！

Why does Mr Marchionne believe he can salvage something from a firm that the rest of the industry sees as a basket-case—and which has defied the best efforts first of rich, successful Daimler and later of Cerberus Capital Partners, a sharp-elbowed private-equity group that acquired an 80% stake in Chrysler from the Germans two years ago?

为什么Mr Marchionne相信他可以从一个其他人都认为完全没有希望的公司中抢救出一些东西呢？——而且克莱斯勒一度使最富有，成功的戴姆勒和后来的赛尔伯昌资本管理公司，来自德国的强势的私募股权集团，2年前曾掌控克莱斯勒80%的股份成效落空？

The institution of the jury, if confined to criminal causes, is always in danger, but when once it is introduced into civil proceedings it defies the aggressions of time and of man.

审判团制度，如果只限于审判罪案，总是处于危险之中，但是一旦引入一般的世俗诉讼中它将使一切由于时间的推移和人的原因对它的损害落空。

Their scornful rebuttle to Jeremiah and blatant words of trust in the queen of heaven is characteristic of the type of people to whom Jeremiah had unsuccessfully preached over so many years.

他们对耶利米轻蔑的反驳和信奉天后所说厚颜的话，表明这类型百姓的本性，使耶利米在过去年间的传讲落空。

As she looked at Warrington's manly face, and dark, melancholy eyes, she had settled in her mind that he must have been the victim of an unhappy attachment.

每逢看到沃林顿那刚毅的脸，那乌黑、忧郁的眼睛，她便会相信，他一定作过不幸的爱情的受害者。

Maybe they'll disappear into a pothole.

也许他们将在壶穴里消失
