对自身利益的促进

In each of these passages, as well as others, Galileo reveals insights not only into the subtle workings of nature, but also into the mind and heart of the man behind the science: the careful craftsman (the builder of the finest telescopes in the world), the meticulous theorist (cautious about over-generalizing or speculating on more fundamental causes), the formidable observer and experimentalist (with a brilliant nose for the most urgent problems that can be solved with the new instruments and with impeccable interpretations of the importance of his major findings), the wonderful storyteller (with one voice tuned to persuade the reader of his point of view and with another voice trying to anticipate possible philosophical or religious objections), as well as the political opportunist (all too willing, as was the practice then, to bow and scrape before powerful personages who might advance his personal fortunes).

在这样的每一章节，以及书中其他部分，伽利略显示出的洞见，不仅是自然世界的微妙运作，也透露了科学背后的人类心灵：细心的工匠（世界上最精细的望远镜的制造者）、一丝不茍的理论家（对综合概括或思索更基本的原因，非常小心）、令人敬畏的观测者与实验家（对於可以采用新仪器来解决的急切问题具有灵敏的嗅觉，并对重大发现的重要性提出周到的诠释）、非常会说故事的人（以一种声调来说服读者相信他的观点，并且以另一说法试图预先回答哲学与宗教上可能遭遇的反对见解），以及政治投机份子（如那时的常例，所有人都十分愿意向可能促进自身利益的权贵卑躬屈膝）。

Initial Purposes and Significance of ResearchSince our country carried on the regionalistic reform, the competition between governments (including the competition between central government and local government and the competition between local governments ) has already become the irrefutable fact.

摘要一、论文研究的动因我国进行分权改革以来，地方政府相对于中央政府的独立利益得到承认和章显。地方政府出于自身利益考虑而进行的制度创新一方面促进了经济转型的进程，另一方面导致诸如地方保护主义、地方越权减免税等混乱局面，虽然中央也曾明令禁止，但由于没有找到治乱根源，而是对各种非规范行为进行直接的行政禁止，收效欠佳。

They weren't aggressive, but I yelled and threw a rock in their direction to get them off the trail and away from me, just in case.

他们没有侵略性，但我大喊，并在他们的方向扔石头让他们过的线索，远离我，以防万一。
