千倍地

Meditations of evolution increasingly vaster: of the moon invisible in incipient lunation, approaching perigee: of the infinite lattiginous scintillating uncondensed milky way, discernible by daylight by an observer placed at the lower end of a cylindrical vertical shaft 5000 ft deep sunk from the surface towards the centre of the earth: of Sirius 10 lightyears (57,000,000,000,000 miles) distant and in volume 900 times the dimension of our planet: of Arcturus: of the precession of equinoxes: of Orion with belt and sextuple sun theta and nebula in which 100 of our solar systems could be contained: of moribund and of nascent new stars such as Nova in 1901: of our system plunging towards the constellation of Hercules: of the parallax or parallactic drift of socalled fixed stars, in reality evermoving wanderers from immeasurably remote eons to infinitely remote futures in comparison with which the years, threescore and ten, of allotted human life formed a parenthesis of infinitesimal brevity.

347关于宇宙日益扩大进化的冥想：新月期的月亮，即使在近地点也看不见。从地表向地轴挖掘纵深五千英尺的圆筒状垂直轴，一个观察者呆在轴底儿上，就连白昼也辨认得出那漫无止境、网络状、亮光闪闪、非凝结性的银河。天狼距地球十光年（五七、000、000、000、000英里）；体积大于地球九百倍；大角；岁差运动；有着"猎户"腰带、六倍于太阳的"伐二"以及星云的猎户座，星云中能容纳我们的一百个太阳系；死去的和新生的星宿，例如一九0 一年的那颗"新星"我们的太阳系正朝着武仙座冲去；所谓恒星的视差或视差移动，也就是说，实际上恒星是在不断地从无限遥远的太古朝无限遥远的未来移动着。相形之下，人的寿命充其量才七十年，不过是无限短暂的一段插曲而已。

Machines have increased a thousandfold in power, languages havemutated, industry practice has gone through multiple revolutions ?

计算机的计算能力成千倍地增长，编程语言也日新月异，工业界的实践也经历着各种各样的变革？？

发展"深井宽频钻孔应变地震仪"可将惯性摆地震仪的观测频宽提高数十倍，地动位移的放大倍率提高数十到数千倍。

A cut of sheep's hair touched with the genius of man becomes rament for a king .If it is possible for leaves and clay and wood and hair to have their value multiplied a hundred , yea a thousandfold by man ,cannot I do the same with the clay with bears my name ?

柏树。羊毛经过人的创造，可以成百上千倍地提高自身的价值，那么我们为什么不能使自己身价百倍呢（注：作者意思是我们均为上帝用粘土所造）？

If it is possible for leaves and clay and wood and hair to have their value multiplied a hundred, yea a thousandfold by man, cannot I do the same with the clay which bears my name?

如果桑叶、粘土、柏树、羊毛经过人的创造，可以成百上千倍地提高自身的价值，那么我为什么不能使自已身价百倍？

Machines have increased a thousandfold in power, languages have mutated, industry practice has gone through multiple revolutions - and Unix hangs in there, still producing, still paying the bills, and still commanding loyalty from many of the best and brightest software technologists on the planet.

机器的能力增长了上千倍，语言产生了变异，工业实践经历了多次的革命--而Unix仍然高高在上地注视着这一切，仍然在生产，仍然在支付帐单，而且仍然拥有这个星球上最好最聪明的软件专家的忠诚。

Other technologies have come and gone like mayflies. Machines have increased a thousandfold in power, languages have mutated, industry practice has gone through multiple revolutions ― and Unix hangs in there, still producing, still paying the bills, and still commanding loyalty from many of the best and brightest software technologists on the planet.

各类技术昙花一现，机器性能呈千倍地增长，语言千变万化，工业标准不断地革命，与此同时UNIX却如同中流砥柱一般地巍然屹立，仍旧焕发着活力，并受到世上最优秀最睿智的软件技术人员的青睐。

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.

交际能力和语法的关系应该是目标与途径的关系。
