像样子

He was as embarrassed as a schoolboy making his first entry on a stage at a prize-giving, and he spoke abruptly so as to give the impression of a strength he did not possess.

他窘迫不安的样子像一个初次登台领奖的小学生，他说起话来粗鲁无礼，似乎要显示一种他并不具备的力量。

They were followed a minute later by ranks of the bipedal demonic-looking Robo-trolls known as Cranns and Odeons.

We imitated the way you had to lift her head a little so she could drink water, she sucked it up slow out of a green tin cup. The water was warm and tasted like metal.

我们模仿她必须把头抬起来一点才能喝到水的样子，她慢慢地从那个绿罐杯子里吸一口水，那水是温的可是尝起来像金属一样。

Or it might have been all lines, squares, circles and strange-colored shapes. It might not have looked human at all.

The excessive Hardness of the Wood, and having no other Way, made me a long while upon this Machine, for I work'd it effectually by little and little into the Form of a Shovel or Spade, the Handle exactly shap'd like ours in England, only that the broad Part having no Iron shod upon it at Bottom, it would not last me so long, however it serv'd well enough for the uses which I had occasion to put it to; but never was a Shovel, I believe, made after that Fashion, or so long a making.

这种木料确实非常坚硬，可是我别无他法，所以，我化了好大的功夫才做成一把铲子。我慢慢把木块削成铲子的形状，铲柄完全像英国铲子一样，只是铲头没有包上铁，所以没有正式的铁铲那么耐用。不过，必要时用一下也还能勉强对付。我想，世界上没有一把铲子是做成这个样子的，也决不会化这么长的时间才做成一把铲子。

If you could take a movie of the mind's sense of itself, it would be erratic and mercurial, like a reflection on water—slithering here and there, identifying with this, identifying with that, shape‐shifting all the time.

如果可以给心的自我感拍一部电影，它的样子会是漂泊不定、擅变无常，就像水中的倒影──滑到这里、滑到那里，认同这个、认同那个，时时刻刻都在变形。

I remember writing in a game story from Memphis recently that the shaggy-haired, scraggy-bearded Pau Gasol looked like Phil Jackson back in Jackson's playing days.

记得我在孟菲斯的前一段时间写了一篇关于加索尔长发密胡的文章，这样的加索尔很像禅师还是球员时候的样子。

Time is like a pile of loose sand, 1 but was blown away, it will not become like the original.

时间就像一堆散沙，一但被风吹走，就不会在变成原来的样子。

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。
