"During the Shia festival of Muharram we would take part in the procession and along with our Arab friends, beat our chests to remember the epic battle of Karbala," said Yakov Reuveni, remembering his youth in 1940s Iraq.

沉浸在1940年伊拉克年少时期的回忆里，Yakov Reuveni说："在什叶穆哈拉姆月的节日里，我们会跟著我们的阿拉伯朋友一起参加游行，垂胸以纪念史诗般的卡尔巴拉战役。"

Says Marisa Kasriel when asked about the lengths to which her father, Northern Trust Co. economist Paul Kasriel, will go to save a buck: private-label groceries, off-brand tennis shoes and his 1995 Subaru, with a piece of electrical tape covering the "check engine" light.

马德萨·卡斯里尔说起她父亲——北方信托银行的经济学家保罗·卡斯里尔，为省一块钱能到什么地步：买自营品牌的食品和没牌子的网球鞋，那辆1995年的斯巴鲁的"发动机故障"灯上贴着一块绝缘胶带。

Since Bartolomeo Cristofori developed the first accion mechanism for the pianoforte in 1707, no other part of the piano has challenged inventors more.

自从巴拓洛梅奥？克里斯托福里于1707年开发出第一套钢琴机械装置以来，对发明家最具挑战性的部分无疑是机械装置了。

Just as Mikhail Gorbachev's talk of perestroika, opening up and new thinking, rang hollow until the moment when he allowed Sakharov to come home, so any talk by the Kremlin of the rule of law or about modernisation will be puffery so long as Mr Khodorkovsky remains in jail.

正如直到米哈伊尔戈尔巴乔夫允许萨哈罗夫进入家门的那一刻，他此前谈的改革、开放和新思想都是空泛的；同样，只要霍多尔科夫斯基在狱里呆着，克里姆林宫的任何关于法律法规或者现代化的演讲就都是吹嘘。

Professor Bacevich, a conservative historian and military veteran whose son was killed in the Iraq war, argues:"American power ... is inadequate to the ambitions to which hubris and sanctimony have given rise."

最具影响力的可能是法里德·扎卡里亚的《后美国世界》(The Post-American World)，据说这是巴拉克·奥巴马今年读过的唯一一本关于外交事务的著作。

I do not wish to discuss Heliogabalus, Macrinus, or Julian, who, being thoroughly contemptible, were quickly wiped out; but I will bring this discourse to a conclusion by saying that princes in our times have this difficulty of giving inordinate satisfaction to their soldiers in a far less degree, because, notwithstanding one has to give them some indulgence, that is soon done; none of these princes have armies that are veterans in the governance and administration of provinces, as were the armies of the Roman Empire; and whereas it was then more necessary to give satisfaction to the soldiers than to the people, it is now more necessary to all princes, except the Turk and the Soldan, to satisfy the people rather the soldiers, because the people are the more powerful.

至于埃利奥加巴洛、马克里诺、尤里亚诺等人，我就不打算议论了，因为他们都是十足可鄙的，所以很快就给消灭了。但是我想就上面的论述总结一下。我认为，我们这个时代的君主们要使自己政府的军队特别满意，其困难比往时减少了，因为尽管他们必须对那些军队给以某些照顾，可是如有任何困难很快就获得解决了。我们这个时代的任何一位君主都没有一支军队象罗马帝国的军队那样，同政府和地方行政当局一道根深蒂固。如果说，在罗马帝国时代，满足军人比满足人民更有必要，那末现在所有的君主，除了土耳其皇帝和苏丹之外，满足人民倒是比满足军人更有必要，因为现在人民比军人更有力量了。

Coyote Buttes in the Paria Canyon/Vermillion Cliffs Wilderness is where you will find the slopes called "The Wave."

位于帕里厄峡谷或称朱红峭壁荒野里的科伊奥特巴蒂斯所处的位置正是你们看到的叫"波浪"的斜坡。

The Samara Sutradhara is a scientific treatise dealing with every possible angle of air travel in a Vimana. There are 230 stanzas dealing with the construction, take-off, cruising for thousand of miles, normal and forced landings, and even possible collisions with birds. In 1875, the Vaimanika Sastra, a fourth century B.C. text written by Bharadvajy the Wise, using even older texts as his source, was rediscovered in a temple in India.

Samara Sutradhara是一篇涉及用维曼拿空中旅行的每一种可能，有230节是有关构造，起飞，巡航一千里，普通和紧急降落，甚至可能碰到鸟类。1875年，一本由智者巴拉瓦杰在公元前四世纪写的《维曼尼卡萨塔》，甚至在他的内容里面引用更古老的资料，在印度一座庙宇里重新被发现。

Had he done so, he would have seen the host of the Cross of Colbas standing on his threshold, surrounded by all the guests of his inn, andall the passers-by in the street, talking vivaciously, and pointing him out with his finger; and, from the glances of terror and distrust cast by the group, he might have divined that his arrival would speedily become an event for the whole town.

假使他回转头来，他就会看见那柯耳巴十字架的旅舍主人正立在他门口，旅舍里的旅客和路上的行人都围着他，在那里指手画脚，说长论短；并且从那一堆人的惊疑的目光里，他还可以猜想到他的出现不久就要搞得满城风雨。

According to the clear water experiment, aeration performance of the new equipment is good with high total oxygen transfer coefficient and oxygen utilization ratio.

The environmental stability of that world - including its crushing pressures and icy darkness - means that some of its most famous inhabitants have survived for eons as evolutionary throwbacks, their bodies undergoing little change.

稳定的海底环境─包括能把人压扁的压力和冰冷的黑暗─意谓海底某些最知名的栖居生物已以演化返祖的样态活了万世，形体几无变化。
