像空气一样

Glaser says the atmosphere was like a Machiavellian poker game where you'd hide things even if it would blindside people you were supposed to be working with.

& 格雷泽说：&空气就像马基维利扑克游戏一样，你会隐瞒一些事情即使他会是你的合作对象。

Mulch forms a barrier between the soil and the air. As a result, mulched soil will be cooler in the summertime. And in winter, it may not freeze as deeply as areas without mulch.

盖土形成土壤与空气之间的屏障，其结果是，被覆盖的土壤在夏季会较凉爽，而在冬季，不会让土壤像没有盖土的区域一样冻得那么深。

He cuts and saws the solid pond,unroofs the house of fishes, and carts off their very element and air, held fast by chains and stakes like corded wood, through the favoring winter air, to wintry cellars, to underlie the summer there.

他砍着锯着坚固的冰，把鱼住宅的屋顶给拆掉了，用锁链把冰块和寒气一起，像捆住木料一样地捆绑了起来，用车子载走，经过有利的寒冷的空气，运到了冬天的地窖中，在那里，让它们静待炎夏来临。

And he drank deep of that new air, and said:"This uplifts the heart like the drinking of cool wine!"

他的头发一绺绺在风中飞扬，他深吸了一口那新鲜的空气，说：&这就像喝下凉酒一样叫人精神一振！&

On th' other side Satan allarm'd [ 985 ] Collecting all his might dilated stood, Like Teneriff or Atlas unremov'd: His stature reacht the Skie, and on his Crest Sat horror Plum'd; nor wanted in his graspe What seemd both Spear and Shield: now dreadful deeds [ 990 ] Might have ensu'd, nor onely Paradise In this commotion, but the Starrie Cope Of Heav'n perhaps, or all the Elements At least had gon to rack, disturbd and torne With violence of this conflict, had not soon [ 995 ] Th' Eternal to prevent such horrid fray Hung forth in Heav'n his golden Scales, yet seen Betwixt Astrea and the Scorpion signe, Wherein all things created first he weighd, The pendulous round Earth with balanc't Aire [ 1000 ] In counterpoise, now ponders all events, Battels and Realms: in these he put two weights The sequel each of parting and of fight; The latter quick up flew, and kickt the beam; Which Gabriel spying, thus bespake the Fiend.

对方撒旦却十分警惕，聚精会神，鼓足劲道站着，像忒涅利夫岛或阿特拉斯山一样岿然不动。他的头直顶到天，他的盔上坐着饰着翎毛的&恐怖&；他的手中似乎也有矛和盾。看形势，发生恐怖的行动是在所难免了，不仅会骚动乐园，恐怕也会扰乱整个繁星密布的天宇，或者诸元素至少要因激烈的冲突而混乱灭裂。幸亏永生的神对这场可怖的战争早有所防，已在空中高悬金天秤，那天秤现在还挂在处女宫和天蝎宫之间，最初是平衡空气和空悬在宇宙的地球，测量万物用的；如今却用来测量一切事件，战事和国事。他在两头放两个砝码，一头是和，一头是战，后者高高，直挑起，碰到秤杆。

This problem has long vexed the American military, which would like to use lighter-than-air dirigibles as atmospheric satellites, or stratellites.

Think of them as confirmation that designers are excellent thermometers/barometers of human thinking the world-round.

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.
