平庸的

Before an individual can be appointed a professor at Harvard University, they must have, not just the endorsement of the people who will be their colleagues in the given area of knowledge, but there must also be letters sent to leading experts in every aspects of their field.

但是，这样做也会常常产生平庸的人，出现不少弊病，因为，当一个机构运作的不是很好的时候，如果要选出一个新的领导，人们选出的常常是一个不具威胁性的新领导，而不是一个能承诺创造出卓越的新领导。

This senior fantast, at the turn of the century, could not tolerate any kinds of limitation and constraint coming from the society.

这位世纪末的高龄幻想家，无法忍受社会的种种限制与束缚，宁可选择一种不为人所理解、干预的方式追求精神自由，而面临虚无与苦闷精神压力下产生的高度个人主义式杰作，更接近生命的本质，以至於平庸的一切皆褪落而去。

"Raffish art"copies in an exaggerated way the raffish and stupid phenomena in reality, taking off the decorative mask,becoming highly ironic.

"玩世写实主义"正视自己作为普通人的真实处境，以写实手法描绘"荒唐的"、"无意义的"、"平庸的"生活片断，或把本来"严肃的"、"有意义"的事物滑稽化。

Of course, everybody has a right to choose a lifestyle. I don't wish to swim with the tide just to get the seemingly rigorous style, and longing for the mediocre happiness is only my lifestyle, despite the saying "if you don't fight now, when will it be". My own interrogation has certainly gone sideways.

当然，每个人有权选择自己的生活方式，我不想随波逐流地得到一种表面的轰轰烈烈，我渴望平庸的幸福只是我生命的一种形式，即便是"此时不搏，更待何时"，对自己的拷问也一定应该是纵向的。

We are sucklingourselves on machine-made mediocrity . It is bad for our souls , our minds , and our digestion

。 我们靠机器制造出来的平庸的东西哺育自己，这对我们的灵魂，我们的头脑和我们的消化都是不好的。

This is supposed to be an era for heroism, for manifestos all abound, but instead Derrida type statements for design methods coupled with conventional results are used as plasters.

这本应是英雄主义的、建筑宣言四起的时代，但是取而代之的是德里达式的，有关设计方法的策略性言说，和为平庸的结果所作的粉饰。

Systematic studies were performed on the algorithms of rescaled range analysis on theeven-sampled time series.A new approach based upon the random sub-series was presented.Wefound that the fluctuations of the R/S curve corresponding to the non-trivial algorithm stemsfrom the screening effect.A generalization of the R/S analysis from uniformly-spaced time seriesto uneven-sampled series was proposed.

系统研究几种域重标分析算法在分析等间隔时间序列时的优劣，提出了一种基于随机子序列的新算法，并用屏蔽效应来解释平庸的R/S曲线波动的原因，提出了非等间隔的时间序列的R/S分析方法。

So I tried to defend myself as he shared my disappointment with my grade. Ochs himself had begun his career without encouragement from his English teachers—he, too, had been an average student, one whose talents became apparent later in life.

所以当父亲跟我一样对我的成绩感到失望时，我曾试图以西蒙来狡辩，如果不是西蒙在他的英语老师那里得到了鼓励，他只会是个平庸的学生，他的才能也是很晚才表现出来的。B并不是老师给我的最差的成绩。

It is also hard to see how he can fulfil his promise to be a post-partisan president while he continues to give so much power to Democratic barons. Back in 1962, when he tried to rank America's presidents according to their merits, Arthur Schlesinger concluded that mediocre presidents believe in negative government, in self-subordination to the legislative power.

他要如何在不损害国会利益的前提下控制开支目前还不得而知；同样无法预料的是，他如何一边将大权交给民主党中的权贵，一边履行自己&超越党派之争&的承诺。1962年，Arthur Schelesinger在为美国的总统排定等级时曾总结道：平庸的总统对执政权持否定态度，他们会对立法权俯首称臣。

As she looked at Warrington's manly face, and dark, melancholy eyes, she had settled in her mind that he must have been the victim of an unhappy attachment.

每逢看到沃林顿那刚毅的脸，那乌黑、忧郁的眼睛，她便会相信，他一定作过不幸的爱情的受害者。

Maybe they'll disappear into a pothole.

也许他们将在壶穴里消失
