就在这时候

By now, my sisters have joined me at one end of the table where we pass the apple butter to each other to slather on the warm bread.

每到这时候，我就和姐妹们坐在桌子的一旁，相互传递苹果酱，在热烘烘的面包上抹上一层。

Fighting to pull the resisting figure back through the doorway—no easy task—Simon was startled to recognize the sand-colored broadcloth he was gripping.

Simon这时候也在努力把这个反抗的家伙从门口拉回厅里——并不是很容易就能做到的——他突然认出了他手里抓住的这件褐色的衣服，这把他吓了一大跳。

The wind rose, and from a fresh breeze it soon increasedto a regular gale; that is to say, it acquired a speed of from forty toforty-five miles an hour, before which a ship in the open sea would haverun under close-reefed topsails.

风愈刮愈大，很快就由微风一变而为正式的暴风了；它的速度达到每小时四十到四十五英里，船如在海里遇到这种风，即使紧收着中桅的帆，也会象飞似的前进的，乘风破浪号在将近六点钟的时候到了港湾口，可是这时候潮势变了，因此它不能入港。

Now, as it was nearly six o'clock when the"Bonadventure" reached the gulf, and as at that moment the tide turned, itwas impossible to enter.

Hassler:'Often, the first few years at a job aren't the most thrilling because you're learning the ropes, and it may be unreasonable to think that you'll be jumping out of bed to go to work every day, or that you'll get promote d before you've had time to prove yourself.

这时候，要求自己每天都很积极地起床上班，或者希望自己在有时间证明自身价值之前就得到提升，可能都是不合情理的的想法。

Today, I was playing online game in in my dormitory when my instructress came in.

今天，我穿着条内裤在玩网络游戏，这时候我们的女老师来检查宿舍了，我根本没注意自己只穿着条内裤就跟老师问好，不过我也忘了我内裤前面有个洞，好吧，老师确实看见了这个洞了，而且还盯着看。

"Well, that's good." the paratrooper said."Now if you guys are around this time tomorrow you can consider yourselves veterans."

"哦，很好。"伞兵说，"要是明天这时候你们这帮家伙还在，你们就可以自称老兵了！"

But now, when, as I have said, I began to beweary of the fruitless excursion which I had made so long and sofar every morning in vain, so my opinion of the action itself beganto alter; and I began, with cooler and calmer thoughts, to considerwhat I was going to engage in; what authority or call I had topretend to be judge and executioner upon these men as criminals,whom Heaven had thought fit for so many ages to suffer unpunishedto go on, and to be as it were the executioners of His judgmentsone upon another; how far these people were offenders against me,and what right I had to engage in the quarrel of that blood whichthey shed promiscuously upon one another.

星期五在小船上打死打伤的那五个，情形也一样。他们中有三个确实是受了伤倒下的，另外两个却是吓昏了倒下的。这时候，我手上仍拿着一支枪，但我没有开枪，因为我已把手枪和腰刀给了那西班牙人，手里得留一支装好弹药的枪，以防万一。我把星期五叫过来，吩咐他赶快跑到我们第一次放枪的那棵大树边，把那几支枪拿过来。他一下子就取回来了。于是我把自己的短枪交给他，自己坐下来给所有的枪再次装上弹药，并告诉他需要用枪时随时可来龋正当我在装弹药时，忽然发现那个西班牙人正和一个野人扭作一团，打得不可开交。那个野人手里拿着一把木头刀跟西班牙人拼杀。

I have been in all my Circumstances a Memento to those who are touch'd with the general Plague of Mankind, whence, for ought I know, one half of their Miseries flow; I mean, that of not being satisfy'd with the Station wherein God and Nature has plac'd them; for not to look back upon my primitive Condition, and the excellent Advice of my Father, the Opposition to which, was, as I may call it, my ORIGINAL SIN; my subsequent Mistakes of the same kind had been the Means of my coming into this miserable Condition; for had that Providence, which so happily had seated me at the Brasils, as a Planter, bless'd me with confin'd Desires, and I could have been contented to have gone on gradually, I might have been by this Time; I mean, in the Time of my being in this Island, one of the most considerable Planters in the Brasils, nay, I am perswaded, that by the Improvements I had made, in that little Time I liv'd there, and the Encrease I should probably have made, if I had stay'd, I might have been worth an hundred thousand Moydors; and what Business had I to leave a settled Fortune, a well stock'd Plantation, improving and encreasing, to turn Supra-Cargo to Guinea, to fetch Negroes; when Patience and Time would have so encreas'd our Stock at Home, that we could have bought them at our own Door, from those whose Business it was to fetch them; and though it had cost us something more, yet the Difference of that Price was by no Means worth saving, at so great a Hazard.

一般人往往有一种通病，那就是不知足，老是不满于上帝和大自然对他们的安排。现在我认识到，他们的种种苦难，至少有一半是由于不知足这种毛病造成的。患有这种病的人大可以从我的一生经历中得到教训。就拿我自己来说吧，正是由于我不满自己原来的境况，又不听父亲的忠告--我认为，我有悖教训，实为我的&原罪&，再加上我后来又犯了同样的错误，才使自己落到今天这样悲惨的地步。当时，造物主已安排我在巴西做了种植园主。如果我自己不痴心妄想发财，而是满足于逐渐致富，这时候我也许已成了巴西数一数二的种植园主了，而现在我却白白地在这荒岛上流落了这么多年，过着悲惨孤寂的生活。而且，我在巴西经营时间不长；就是在这段短短的时间里，我也获利不少。因此我确信，要是我继续经营下去的话，到现在一定拥有十几万葡萄牙金币的家财了。当时，我的种植园已走上了轨道，并且日益兴旺。可是，我偏偏把这一切丢弃，甘愿去当一名船上的管货员，只是为了到几内亚去贩卖黑奴。现在想来，我为什么要这样做呢？要是我守住家业，只要有耐心，经过一段时间之后，同样可以积聚大笔财富，我不是也可以在自己的家门口，从那些黑奴贩子手里买到黑奴吗？虽说价钱贵一点，但这点差价绝不值得自己去冒这样大的风险！

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
