The desire we so often hearexpressed today for "episcopal figures,""priestly men,"from a spiritually sick need for the admiration of men, for theestablishment of visible human authority, because the genuine authority ofunimpressive... Genuine authority realizes that it can exist only in theservice of Him who alone has authority... The Church does not needbrilliant personalities but faithful servants of Jesus and the brethren...no power of his own, who himself is a brother among brothers to theauthority of the Word.

我们今天常听到有呼声﹐人们想要有"代表教会的人物"﹑"祭司性的人物"﹑"权威的人物"﹔这乃是发自于敬佩人的病态需求﹑和对实体权威的病态需求﹔因为服侍人的真正权柄﹐是如此的叫人看不上眼的……有真正权柄的人﹐意识到只有在服侍主的过程中﹐才会带着权柄的……教会不需要卓越的人物﹐而是需要忠心为耶稣服务的人﹑和弟兄们……只有一位不寻求自己权能﹑只是服务耶稣的人﹐才配得上教牧的权柄﹔在神话语的权威底下﹐他也不过是弟兄中的一位而已。

In those days conversation was still cultivated as an art; a neat repartee was more highly valued than the crackling of thorns under a pot; and the epigram, not yet a mechanical appliance by which the dull may achieve a semblance of wit, gave sprightliness to the small talk of the urbane.

在那个时代谈话仍然被看作是一种需要下功夫陶冶的艺术，一句巧妙的对答比锅子底下噼啪爆响的荆棘①更受人赏识，格言警句当时还不是痴笨的人利用来冒充聪敏的工具，风雅人物的闲谈中随便使用几句会使得谈话妙趣横生。

And the foolish penguins cower in the crevices of rocks, while alone the Stormy Petrel proudly wheels above the ocean, o'er the silver-frothing waters.

蠢笨的企鹅，胆怯地把肥胖的身体躲藏到悬崖底下……只有那高傲的海燕，勇敢地，自由自在的，在泛起白沫的大海上飞翔！

正当她准备步行穿过城镇到北方佬营地去时，一辆破旧的货车来了，车上有个老太婆，嘴唇上满是鼻烟潭，那张久经风霜的脸躲在一顶皱巴巴的太阳帽底下，她赶着一匹慢悠悠的老骡子，她是朝市政厅方向去的。

And Dee. I see her standing off under the sweet gum tree she used to dig gum out of; a look at concentration on her face as she watched the last dingy gray board of the house tall in toward the red-hot brick chimney.

还有迪伊，我远远看见她站在她经常从其中挖树胶的那棵香枫胶树底下，望着屋上最后一块烧成灰黑色的木板朝着烧红了的滚烫的砖砌烟囱方向塌下来时，她脸上呈现出一幅非常专注的神色。

A group of old fakirs were capering and making a wild ado round the statue; te were striped with ochre, and covered with cuts whence their blood issued drop by drop - stupid fanatics, who, in the great Indian ceremonies, still throw themselves under the wheels of Juggernaut.

在这尊神像的四周，围着有一群疯疯癫癫的老托钵僧。他们身上象斑马似的画着赭黄色的条纹，并且割开一些十字形伤口，鲜血一滴滴地流出来。举行盛大的宗教仪式时，这些癫狂得象着了魔似的托钵僧甚至还争先恐后地趴到&太阳神&的大车轱辘底下去送死呢。

Soon Shadow and Wednesday will be swe pt up into a conflict as old as humanity itself. For beneath the placid surfac e of everyday life a war is being fought-and the prize is the very soul of Ame rica. As unsettling as it is exhilarating, American Gods is a dark and kaleido scopic journey deep into myth and across an America at once eerily familiar an d utterly alien.

仅有一些硬币技巧(coin tricks：知道是什么意思但不知道如何翻译)和一种要达到目的的感觉，Shadow 穿越，徘徊，从事物可见的表面底下，挖掘出所有强大的神祗，包括当美国人飘洋过海来到这块土地时带来的以及原本就在这块土地上的。

侧规不推纸压球的轴心，由于安设在水斗的底下，在出产本质操纵历程洋，不定会滴上水斗液，加之经过负纸不活带来的的纸毛、制卡和会员卡制息喷粉等尘埃的浑浊而导致生锈咬不松。

But we don't care about Battlegrounds.

但我们并不在乎沙场中的显露。

Ah! don't mention it, the butcher's shop is a horror.
