While he could have been referring to a number of things, Olivier happened to be talking about talking.

奥利维尔的话本可以被认为在说某几种事情，可他偏偏是在说讲话这种事。

Yet such was the Fright I had taken at the Moors, and the dreadful Apprehensions I had of falling into their Hands, that I would not stop, or go on Shoar, or come to an Anchor; the Wind continuing fair,'till I had sail'd in that manner five Days: And then the Wind shifting to the southward, I concluded also that if any of our Vessels were in Chase of me, they also would now give over; so I ventur'd to make to the Coast, and came to an Anchor in the Mouth of a little River, I knew not what, or where; neither what Latitude, what Country, what Nations, or what River: I neither saw, or desir'd to see any People, the principal thing I wanted was fresh Water: We came into this Creek in the Evening, resolving to swim on shoar as soon as it was dark, and discover the Country; but as soon as it was quite dark, we heard such dreadful Noises of the Barking, Roaring, and Howling of Wild Creatures, of we knew not what Kinds, that the poor Boy was ready to die with Fear, and beg'd of me not to go on shoar till Day; well Xury said I, then I won't, but it may be we may see Men by Day, who will be as bad to us as those Lyons; then me give them the shoot Gun says Xury laughing, make them run wey; such English Xury spoke by conversing among us Slaves; however I was glad to see the Boy so cheerful, and I gave him a Dram (out of our Patroon's Case of Bottles) to chear him up: After all, Xury's Advice was good, and I took it, we dropt our little Anchor and lay still all Night; I say still, for we slept none!

但是，我已被摩尔人吓破了胆，生怕再落到他们的手里；同时风势又顺，于是也不靠岸，也不下锚，一口气竟走了五天。这时风势渐渐转为南风，我估计即使他们派船来追我。这时也该罢休了。于是我就大胆驶向海岸，在一条小河的河口下了锚。我不知道这儿是什么地方，在什么纬度，什么国家，什么民族，什么河流。四周看不到一个人，我也不希望看到任何人。我现在所需要的只是淡水。我们在傍晚驶进了小河口，决定一等天黑就游到岸上去，摸一下岸上的情况。但一到天黑，我们就听到各种野兽狂吠咆哮，怒吼呼啸，不知道那是些什么野兽，真是可怕极了！这可把那可怜的孩子吓得魂飞魄散，哀求我等天亮后再上岸。我说，"好吧，佐立，我不去就是了。不过，说不定白天会碰见人。他们对我们也许像狮子一样凶呢！"佐立笑着说，"那我们就开枪把他们打跑！"佐立在我们奴隶中能用英语交谈，虽然发音不太地道。见到佐立这样高兴，我心里也很快乐。于是我从主人的酒箱里拿出酒瓶，倒了一点酒给他喝，让他壮壮胆子。不管怎么说，佐立的提议是有道理的，我接受了他的意见。于是，我们就下了锚，静静地在船上躺了一整夜。我是说，只是"静静地躺着"，我们事实上整夜都没合过眼。

可译为：举例说吧：一个46 岁的男子，在与家人外出度假之前进行常规体格检查；虽然他自我感觉良好，但医生发现他患了某种癌症，6个月内就会死去，这时，医生该怎么对他说呢？

Be what you say; and, within the rules of prudence, say what you are.

We're not looking at them like 'Ooh you made a mistake,'" Robeson Principal Gerald Morrow said."We're looking at how we can get them to the next phase.

该校校长说："我们不会板起面孔对她们说'你可真是犯了个大错'，我们主要是想着怎样帮助她们过渡到人生的下一个阶段。"

I kept to say good things, hoping to shorten the time they said "no."

我不停的说好话，希望能缩短点时间，可他们都是说"不"。

But that did not altogether press meso much as the possibility that there might be yet some livingcreature on board, whose life I might not only save, but might, bysaving that life, comfort my own to the last degree; and thisthought clung so to my heart that I could not be quiet night orday, but I must venture out in my boat on board this wreck; andcommitting the rest to God's providence, I thought the impressionwas so strong upon my mind that it could not be resisted - that itmust come from some invisible direction, and that I should bewanting to myself if I did not go.

我上面说了，我的样子狰狞可怕；我的仆人星期五远远地跟在我后面，也是全副武装，样子像我一样可怕，但比我稍好一些，不像我那样，像个怪物。我悄悄走近他们，还没等到他们看见我，我就抢先用西班牙语向他们喊道："先生们，你们是什么人？"一听到喊声，他们吃了一惊，可一看到我的那副怪模样，更是惊恐万分，连话都说不出来了。我见他们要逃跑的样子，就用英语对他们说："先生们，别害怕。也许，你们想不到，在你们眼前的人，正是你们的朋友呢！""他一定是天上派下来的，"其中一个说，并脱帽向我致礼，神情十分认真。

Nevertheless, in spite of this untidiness he was a great lawyer-not as an expert on legal matters, but as an advocate in court.

尽管他比较邋遢，可他仍不失为一个了不起的律师――这并不是说他是个法律问题专家而是说他在法庭上是个好辩护律师。
