Librations are primarily caused by the Moon's varying orbital speed due to the eccentricity of its orbit: this allows us to see up to about6° more along its perimeter.

振动主要地由月亮所引起正在由于它的轨道的古怪改变轨道的速度：这让我们沿着它的周长见到达大约6°更多。

Often during the day, when Yasha sat in the Cafe Lurs, sipping black coffee and leafing through a magazine, he was seized by an odd premonition

He drummed his fingers on the steering wheel and his eyes fell on a huddle of these weirdos standing quite close by.

Extract 3 'Sometimes we came upon a station close by the bank, clinging to the skirts of the unknown, and the white men rushing out of a tumbledown hovel, with great gestures of joy and surprise and welcome, seemed very strange-- had the appearance of being held there captive by a spell. The word 'ivory' wouldring in the air for a while - and on we went again into the silence, along empty reaches, round the still bends, between the high walls of our winding way, reverberating in hollow claps the ponderous beat of the stern wheel. Trees, trees, millions of trees, massive, immense, running up high; and at

有时我们会经过紧挨着河岸，紧挨着那片未知地域边缘的一个贸易站，白人们从一间摇摇欲坠的茅屋里冲出来，打着很多表示高兴、惊奇和欢迎的手势，看起来十分古怪—看上去像是被符咒镇在那儿当了俘虏，'象牙'这个词照例会在空气中回响一阵子—然后又一次驶入寂静，沿着一片没有人烟的水道，绕过一个个平静的转角，穿过蜿蜒航程中的峭壁，船尾外轮沉重的击水声空洞地回响着。

在 Lhermitte (1983)中描述了的等等这些古怪的行为部分是因为无法抑制做出自动行为而引起；就好像一个分心的人不断将糖放入自己的咖啡中这样的古老喜剧，只不过此时要极端地多。

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。
