它们

Taken by themselves, they do but seem to be what they are not; they look like virtue at a distance, but they are detected by close observers, and in the long run; and hence it is that they are popularly accused of pretense and hypocrisy, not, I repeat, from their own fault, but because their professors and their admirers persist in taking them for what they are not and are officious in arrogating for them a praise to which they have no claim.

就其本身而言，它们似乎已远非本来面目，远观之下，它们似乎是美德，然而只有长期近距离的仔细观察才可辨明其真伪。也正因为此，各种美德品质受到广泛的责难，指责其虚饰与伪善。我要强调，这绝非是因为其自身有什么过错，而是因为他们的信仰者和赞美者一味地把弄得它们弄得面目全非，并且还要好事地献上其并不希冀的称颂。

Little by little, by austerities, by tortures, by starvation, in many lives, he was able to control his body, and while he was controlling his body, he was training at the same time his emotions and his mind; because when they are not cooperating, when they are not coordinated, when they are not synthetic, then there is discord, then there is no well-being.

渐渐地，通过苦行，通过自我拷问，通过绝食，在许多生中，他能够控制他的身体了，并且当他控制他的身体的时候，他同时训练了他的情感和他的头脑；因为它们不合作的时候，当它们不协调的时候，当它们不能融合的时候，就产生了不调和，就没有了安乐。

Because genes have their own dynamics independent of the organism, they dictate what can be birthed from them.

由于基因具有它们自己的独立于有机体的动力机制，所以在到底什么东西能够由它们而诞生这样一件事情上，它们有一种说一不二的权力。

He then says:"So many of the Chows today are being developed so that the legs are entirely too short, and the body instead of being square, is oblong. Let us not only breed for a magnificent head and a tremendously wide chest, but let us develop a Chow proportionately; body, legs, head and gait; if we are going to glorify our Chows, we must keep them properly balanced."

然后他说：现在有好多的松狮都得到发展以至于它们的的腿都开始变得越来越短，身体就变得近似正方形，但原本应该是长方形的，我们不要一味的只要求它们有漂亮的头部和特别宽阔的胸脯让它们的身体，腿部，头部以及步态都能够按照一定的比例得到发展，，如果我们想美化我们的松狮就应使他们保持平衡。

Obesity, for one: cage any healthy animal, feed it well and forbid it to move around too much, and it's likely to get fat. Cardiovascular disease is commonly reported among elephants, which, as in humans, can be a direct result of too many calories and too little exercise. What's more, baby elephants born in captivity are noticeably chubbier from the start than those born in the wild. That may be a result of the mothers weighing too much, but whatever the reason, Mason worries that as in humans, overweight juveniles are overwhelmingly likelier to grow into overweight adults, with all the attendant health risks.

杀婴在野外象群中几乎没有听说过，母亲怀孕两年时间，它们生活在固定的女性象群中，雌性集体照顾幼崽。，在圈养区中，母亲经常处在一种相对孤立的情况下，经历充满紧张和痛苦的生产，然后简单的杀死所有这些痛苦的根源，Mason说，一些母亲杀害婴儿甚至仅仅因为，它们不知道这些突然出现在面前的小小的蠕动的小东西什么，一些生活在动物园的雌象从没见过小牛，她说，因此它们也许没有意识到这一点。

And with brilliant eyes they watched Connie, as she crouched before them, and they gave short sharp clucks of anger and alarm, but chiefly of female anger at being approached.

当康妮在它们面前蹲伏下去时，它们的光耀的眼睛守视着她，它们忿怒地惊惶地发着尖锐的咯咯声，但是这种忿怒大概是每当被人迫近时的女性的忿怒。

Ear-tipping refers to nicking a cat's ear during surgery to identify it as desexed. It is done within capture, neuter, release programs. They reduce the stray population by returning the altered cats to their original territory. If the cats were simply removed their territory would be filled up by other cats reproducing more to take advantage of the available space and food.

ear-tipping 」是指在CNR计画的手术中，在猫的耳朵上留下裂口，做为已完成结扎的识别；这个计画将结扎过的流浪动物放回它们的原生区域以降低它们的数量；若将流浪猫自它们的区域移走，其他流浪猫会繁殖更多小猫来侵占可得的空间和食物。

Is she endorsing these messages or dissociating herself from them; is she asserting that they are true, wondering whether they are true, perhaps wishing or hoping that someone will make them true?

她赞同这些内容还是不接受它们；她坚不坚持他们是真实的，还是怀疑它们是否属实，也许正许愿着或者希望着有人会令它们变的真实？

A weak power can be more reckless than a strong one. Russia needs to learn that in spite of their own enervating foreign wars and economic worries the members of the Western alliance can still unite in front of a challenge.

一个实力较弱的强权不会比一个实力较强的强权具有理性，俄罗斯必须了解尽管现在海外战争消耗着它们的实力，尽管经济困境令它们忧心，但是它们还是可以在共同的挑战面前团结起来。

They are the spirits, the low spirits and melancholy forebodings, of fallen souls that once in human shape night-walked the earth and did the deeds of darkness, now expiating their sins with their wailing hymns or threnodies in the scenery of their transgressions.

它们是一个堕落灵魂的化身，阴郁的精神，忧愁的预兆，它们曾经有人类的形态，夜夜在大地上走动，干着黑暗的勾当，而现在在罪恶的场景中，它们悲歌着祈求赎罪。

As she looked at Warrington's manly face, and dark, melancholy eyes, she had settled in her mind that he must have been the victim of an unhappy attachment.

每逢看到沃林顿那刚毅的脸，那乌黑、忧郁的眼睛，她便会相信，他一定作过不幸的爱情的受害者。

Maybe they'll disappear into a pothole.

也许他们将在壶穴里消失
