假设

Say, by chance you do forget a bill, if you are a first time offender, call the company and request politely to waive the late fees, and more likely than not, they will oblige.

On the contrary it helps to emphasize this truth, for the same relation of dependence upon a self-existing cause which is implied in the contingency of any single being is implied a fortiori in the existence of an infinite series of such beings, supposing such a series to be possible.

与此相反，它有助於强调了这个真理，为同一关系，依靠自我存在的原因，是隐含在应急任何一个单一的就是隐含更不用说在存在一种无穷级数等人，假设这样一个系列可能的。

Experiment and surely shows that our primary awareness of our own actions is not that of a physiologist: it does not include a knowledge of the muscular movements required, and a fortiori does not include a desire for them What happens in normal action is that if we decide to do something we think of it in the ordinary terminology of action (as hitting someone, or writing something) and given that we have learnt to do these things and our faculties are unimpaired, our muscular movements normally follow smoothly on our decision.

在正常行为中所发生的是，如果我们决定做我们按行为之普通意义来考虑它的某事，并且假设我们学会了做这些事，而且，我们的机能又未受损害，那么，我们的肌肉运动便通常会顺当地随我们的决定而来。

There is a grain of truth in all of these hypotheses-and a good deal of misinterpretation as well.

在这些假设中，有些是正确的、符合实际的，但是也存在不少误解。

Of course,one may choose to use an a priori upper bound on the number of nodes in the system;for example,we could postulate at most one Chord server per IPv4 address.

当然， 你也许选择使用一个演绎最高界面在结的数量在system；for 例子，我们能假设至多一台弦服务器每IPv4 地址。

Study is made of Bayes estimation of the error rate proportionality parameter θ in the JM model for testing software reliability,leading to the a priori,a posteriori distribution of θ and the coresponding Bayes estimates on the Bayes assumption,Jeffrey s principle and conjugate dis- tribution,together with their comparison and discussion.

讨论了软件可靠性模型——JM 模型中故障率比例参数θ的 Bayes 估计问题，分别求出了在贝叶斯假设、杰弗莱原则和共轭分布原则下参数θ的先验分布、后验分布及相应的 Bayes 估计，并对它们进行了比较和讨论。

But it can hardly be assumed that what matters for practical purposes is a priori.

但是几乎不能假设为了实践目的的东西是先天的。

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