将军

When Kirk was Picard's age, he retired from Admiral and took to climbing rocks.

当Kirk在Picard这个年纪时，他已经以将军的身份退休了，还能徒手攀岩。

He was one of those engineers who began by handling thehammer and pickaxe, like generals who first act as common soldiers.

他是一个从舞锤弄斧做起的工程师，正如一个行伍出身的将军一样。

No one glanced at the general, no one thought of picking him up.

谁也没有朝将军瞥上一眼，谁也没有想到把他扶起来。

The picture that emerges is of a far more subtle and prescient thinker than the man America's General Joseph Stilwell used to refer to as "peanut", and Britain's chief of staff, Field-Marshal Lord Alanbrooke, dismissed in Cairo as "a cross between a pine marten and a ferret".

蒋介石曾被美国的约瑟夫史迪威将军曾经形容为"小人物"，在开罗更是被英军参谋总长、陆军元帅阿兰布鲁克勋爵贬低为"松貂和雪貂的杂交产物"，然而本书作者描绘出来的却是一个远比这两个人印象中的蒋氏更加敏锐、更有先见之明的思想者。

The General was showing him that he wasn't superior to the platitude either.

将军的本意也正是要叫他明白，他也一样跳不出这些老调的圈圈。

What do Plebes rank?

"报告长官，我强过校长的狗，主任的猫，空军的将军和整个该死的全部海军上将"

The generals were worried about sending Abrams's tanks over the pontoon bridge.

将军们担心是否让艾布拉姆斯营的坦克过桥。

We sat at the table, and my neighbor to the right was a very stately man, handsome, portly.

有一次我被邀请去一位将军家吃饭，我们坐在餐桌边，我右边坐的是一位很体面的人，英俊，讨人喜欢。

Entering the navy as a volunteer, he served in the Dutch Wars and became post captain in 1673.He became Rear Admiral in 1690, and fought at the Battle of Beachy Head.In May 1692 he served under Russell at the Battle of Barfleur, and he greatly distinguished himself in a night attack on the French fleet at La Hogue, when he succeeded in burning six of their ships.

他志愿参军，在英荷战争中成为上校舰长。1690年他晋升为海军少将并参与了Battle of Beachy Head的战斗。1692年5月他在Battle of Barfleur中效力于海军元帅拉塞尔将军麾下，并在La Hogue之战中由于夜袭法国舰队焚沉6艘法军军舰而声名卓著。

Governments, including western countries that usually spurn the generals as pariahs, have responded to the rare appeal for help with big offers of assistance, potentially paving the way for the largest foreign engagement in Burma's troubled post-independence history.

各国政府——包括那些通常不愿搭理这些将军的西方国家——在面对这一罕见的求援时，都表示愿意大力协助。这很可能成为缅甸独立后纷乱历史上最大规模的对外接触。

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
