安静地坐

In coveralls and hard-toe boots, a hardhat over their heads, they would sit quietly for their hour-long journey, five miles into a mountain, the only light the lamp on their caps, or the glow from the mantrip they rode in.

他们穿着工作服和硬头靴，戴着安全帽，安静地坐着一小时的征程，去到五英里远的矿山，唯一的光线是安全帽上的灯，或者是进入矿山时的沿途。

You're up and down like a fiddler's elbow!

你为什么不可以安静地坐一会儿呢？

If you try sitting silent for a while, you will probably be inundated with thoughts.

如果你试着安静地坐上一会儿，你可能会沉浸在思维里。

Such achievements should have brought lasting fame – but, as Farmelo illustrates, Dirac made things difficult for those wanting to lionise him. When he arrived to collect the Nobel Prize in 1933, there was a marvellous kerfuffle. He and his mother sat quietly in the station's waiting room, failing to realise that the host of – increasingly alarmed – grandees lined up along the platform were there as his welcoming committee.

如此杰出的成就本该为他赢得长久的声誉，但是正像法默洛描述的那样，狄拉克令那些想追捧他的人不得其门。1933年他去接受诺贝尔奖的时候闹了场大乱子，他与母亲安静地坐在车站候车室，全然不知那群在月台上站成一溜儿、越来越焦急的大人物是前来欢迎他的诺奖委员会。

Others took up the mats covering the platform, shook them to leeward, lash them down again in a seamanlike manner, and heaved on the forestays, now slackening with the heat of the sun, while a third party brought up small pigs,edible dogs and fowls, in baskets, mostly from larboard hull, and arranged them on the forward part of the deck where they sat good and quite, as ship-borne animals so often do.

另一些人把铺在平台上的席子拿起来，在下风处摇晃一番，再象水兵那样，把席子重新用绳子扎牢，又开始拉紧前桅支索，因为太阳的烤晒，现在前桅支索已经变松了。第三组女人把篮子里装的小猪、菜狗和家禽，从左舷船身里运上来，再把这些都安排在靠近船头那边的甲板上，这些猪狗和家禽都安静地坐着，海上出生的动物经常就是这样的。

I sit down to write this post with mixed feelings.

我安静地坐下来，写了这篇帖子，百感交集。

I may sit very quietly, and that's me.

我可能会安静地坐着，那也是我。

He mentioned this to the goose, who was sitting quietly in a corner of the sheepfold.

他跟母鹅谈到了这事儿，当时母鹅正安静地坐在羊栏的一个角落里。

In this symposium my part is only to sit in silence.

在这次座谈会上，我的职责只是安静地坐着。

Mrs. Linton took off the grey cloak of the dairy-maid which we had borrowed for our excursion, shaking her head and expostulating with her, I suppose: she was a young lady, and they made a distinction between her treatment and mine.

如果凯西想回来而他们不让她出来的话，我就把他们这豪华大窗的玻璃砸成一百万块碎片。她安静地坐在沙发上。林顿太太一边帮她脱下了我们为远足从挤奶女工那借来的斗篷，一边摇着头告诫她。

In the negative and interrogative forms, of course, this is identical to the non-emphatic forms.

。但是，在否定句或疑问句里，这种带有"do"的方法表达的效果却没有什么强调的意思。

Go down on one's knees;kneel down

屈膝跪下。。。下跪祈祷
