妄自尊大

And as E. Rushmore Coglan prattled of this little planet I thought with glee of a great almost-cosmopolite who wrote for the whole world and dedicated himself to Bombay. In a poem he has to say that there is pride and rivalry between the cities of the earth, and that "the men that breed from them, they traffic up and down, but cling to their cities' hem as a child to the mother's gown."

在一首诗中，他不得不说，地球上的城市之间不免有些妄自尊大，互相竞争，&靠这城市抚育着人们，让他们来来往往，但仅仅依附于城市的折缝之中，有如孩子依附于母亲的睡袍一样。&

Here is a dictator gone insane with egotism and vanity, a general grown mutinous with despair, a professor suffering a religious conversion, a writer meekly eating arsenic fed to him by bandits and then joining the Communists, a village witch calling gods into her body in order to frighten women into supporting Chiang Kai-shek, a mother beheading her daughter to prevent her from joining the revolution, a village bride seeking revenge against her "counterrevolutionary" husband, women cutting the flesh of landlords with scissors, concubines and wives leaping into bed with rural cadres to seduce them away from the land reform.

他描述了那个被自私自利和妄自尊大逼疯的独裁者；一位因找不到出路苦闷绝望而造反的将军；一位痛苦的改变自己的信仰的教授；一个默默吃下土匪给他的毒饼，后来又投奔共产党的作家；一个装神弄鬼的乡下巫婆，借跳大神的办法来吓唬无知村民，胡说蒋介石终将胜利；一个仇视革命、不惜砍下自己女儿头颅来防止她参加造反的母亲；一个反抗自己&反革命&丈夫的农村妇女；怀着深仇大恨用剪刀嚓嚓地剪下地主的肉的村妇们；为了引诱干部脱离革命而和他们上床的有钱人的老婆和小妾们，等等等等。

He wasn't big-headed like some famous people.

他不像一些名人那样，妄自尊大。

Only realism , an acceptance that 'progress' is a myth and that civilization necessarily entails a constant struggle against despots, liars, murderers, thieves, megalomaniacs, genocides, oppressors, hoarders, extremists, psychopaths, mobs and other manifestations of human frailty.

为人们所接受的，只有现实主义：&进步&是虚构的，文明必然地是和人性的弱点相抗争的，而人性的弱点表现在：暴君，说谎者，谋杀犯，小偷，妄自尊大的人，种族屠杀，压迫着，贮藏者，极端主义者，精神病患者，暴民等等。

"Monsieur the Mayor," said the Bishop, and Messieurs Citizens, I perceive that I shock you. You think it very arrogant in a poor priest to ride an animal which was used by Jesus Christ.

&长官先生和各位先生，&主教说，我知道什么事使你们感到丢人，你们一定认为一个贫苦的牧师跨着耶稣基督的坐骑未免妄自尊大。

They should focus on these rather than proselytising about marriage, which suggests a nannying streak curiously at odds with Mr Cameron's view that government has got too big for its boots.

政府应该专注教育而不是改革婚姻，要不然就会与卡梅隆所认为的政府妄自尊大的观出现争执。

Instead of poverty of spirit we find the rankest kind of pride; instead of mourners we find pleasure seekers; instead of meekness, arrogance; instead of hunger after righteousness we hear men saying, 'I am rich and increased with goods and have need of nothing'; instead of mercy we find cruelty; instead of purity of heart, corrupt imaginings; instead of peacemakers we find men quarrelsome and resentful; instead of rejoicing in mistreatment we find them fighting back with every weapon at their command.

在所有的人中，我們找不出一點和主耶穌登山寶訓相近的品性，我們所見到的不是虛心的人，乃是最驕傲的人；我們所找到的不是哀慟的人，乃是尋求宴樂的人；不是溫柔的人，乃是妄自尊大的人；所遇見的不是飢渴慕義的人，只听見人這樣說：「我是富足，已經發了財，一樣都不缺。
