尽到

You have had your backs to the wall.

的时候，已经是到了尽境。

I'm doing what I can: I'm trying to get Campos the best position I can make.

我就是做做我能做的：我会尽我所能让Campos拿到最好的成绩。

Not by rules and observances, not even by much learning, nor by gain of absorption, nor by a life of seclusion, nor by thinking,"I enjoy the bliss of renunciation, which is not experienced by the worldling" should you, O monks, rest content, until the utter destruction of cankers is reached.

比丘不应只是因为有戒行、或多闻、或有禅定、或独处、或自知&我得享凡夫享受不到的出离乐&而感到满足，而不灭尽烦恼。

I wondered if he even stole children articles to be stocked at home, or his remaining confederates were not arrested.

我怀疑他连百货公司的儿童用品也偷到家里囤积了起来，或是他的余党还没有抓尽。

He bid me observe it, and I should always find, that the Calamitles of Life were shared among the upper and lower Part of Mankind; but that the middle Station had the fewest Disasters, and was not expos'd to so many Vicisitudes as the higher or lower Part of Mankind; nay, they were not subjected to so many Distempers and Uneasiness either of Body or Mind, as those were who, by vicious Living, Luxury and Extravagancies on one Hand, or by hard Labour, Want of Necessaries, and mean or insufficient Diet on the other Hand, bring Distempers upon themselves by the natural Consequences of their Way of Living; That the middle Station of Life was calculated for, all kind of Vertues and all kinds of Enjoyments; that Peace and Plenty were the Hand-maids of a middle Fortune; that Temperance, Moderation, Quietness, Health, Society, all agreeable Diversions, and all desirable Pleasures, were the Blessings attending the middle Station of Life; that this Way Men went silently and smoothly thro' the World, and comfortably out of it, not embarass'd with the Labours of the Hands or of the Head, not sold to the Life of Slavery for daily Bread, or harrast with perplex'd Circumstances, which rob the Soul of Peace, and the Body of Rest; not enrag'd with the Passion of Envy, or secret burning Lust of Ambition for great things; but in easy Circumstances sliding gently thro' the World, and sensibly tasting the Sweets of living, without the bitter, feeling that they are happy, and learning by every Day's Experience to know it more sensibly.

他提醒我，只要用心观察，就会发现上层社会和下层社会的人都多灾多难，唯中间阶层灾祸最少。中间阶层的生活，不会像上层社会和下层社会的人那样盛衰荣辱，瞬息万变。而且，中间地位不会像阔佬那样因挥霍无度、腐化堕落而弄得身心俱病；也不会像穷人那样因终日操劳、缺吃少穿而搞得憔悴不堪。唯有中间地位的人可享尽人间的幸福和安乐。中等人常年过着安定富足的生活。适可而止，中庸克己，健康安宁，交友娱乐，以及生活中的种种乐趣，都是中等人的福份。这种生活方式，使人平静安乐，怡然自得地过完一辈子，不受劳心劳力之苦。他们既不必为每日生计劳作，或为窘境所迫，以至伤身烦神；也不会因妒火攻心，或利欲薰心而狂躁不安。中间阶层的人可以平静地度过一生，尽情地体味人生的甜美，没有任何艰难困苦；他们感到幸福，并随着时日的过去，越来越深刻地体会到这种幸福。

For by my wrath a fire is enkindled that shall rage to the depths of the nether world, Consuming the earth with its yield, and licking with flames the roots of the mountains.

我的怒火一燃起，必烧到阴府的深底，吞灭大地及其出产，焚毁山岳的基础。我要将灾祸不断加在他们身上，向他们射尽我的箭矢。

The Sturgeon Moon harks back to the bygone centuries when this large fish roamed plentifully in the Great Lakes and Hudson Bay.

鲟鱼之月可以口头追溯到逝去的世纪中去，当时在五大湖区和哈德逊湾尽是这种大鱼吐出的泡泡。

He was rather too indulgent in humouring her caprices; not from affection, but from pride: he wished earnestly to see her bring honour to the family by an alliance with the Lintons, and as long as she let.him alone she might trample us like slaves, for aught he cared!

讲到容忍她的反复无常，他实在是太迁就了，这并不是出于感情，而是出于妄自尊大，他真心盼望能看到她和林惇家联姻以便门第增光，并且只要她不去打扰他，她就尽可以把我们当奴隶一样践踏，他才不管呢！

All Christians believe that the blessed are the poor and humble, and those who are ill-used by the world; that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven; that they should judge not, lest they be judged; that they should swear not at all; that they should love their neighbour as themselves; that if one take their cloak, they should give him their coat also; that they should take no thought for the morrow; that if they would be perfect, they should sell all that they have and give it to the poor.

一切基督教徒都相信，上帝所赐福的乃是穷人、贱人和被世人恶待的人；他们都相信，富人要进入天国比骆驼要穿过针孔还困难；他们都相信，他们不应有所裁判，否则他们就应受到裁判；他们都相信，他们绝对不应指神发誓；他们都相信，他们应当爱邻如爱己；他们都相信，假如有人要拿他们的罩袍，他们就应把自己的上衣也送给他；他们都相信，他们应当不思虑到明天；他们都相信，如果他们要成为完善，就应当卖尽自己所有的一切并散给穷人。

The upper surface was so structured that a "landscape" was presented, small valleys as well as slight knolls, or mounds; once atop the balloon, a stroll was possible, or even a trip, from one place to the another.

气球的表面设计得真象一幅&风景画&，有一条条小小的山谷，还有一垛垛的小丘，或者一堆堆的土墩；一旦登上气球，尽可以蹓跶一阵子，甚至来一次旅行，从一个地方跑到另一个地方。

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。
