年纪

It's why I think we should all be worried about the values that are nurturing a generation so fearful of risk and so goal-obsessed at such an early age.

这就是为什么我认为我们都应该为培育着这一代人的价值观感到担忧，他们年纪这么轻就这样害怕冒险，这样沉溺于目标的追求。

But if you go away from well-governed States to Crito's friends in Thessaly, where there is great disorder and license, they will be charmed to have the tale of your escape from prison, set off with ludicrous particulars of the manner in which you were wrapped in a goatskin or some other disguise, and metamorphosed as the fashion of runaways is- that is very likely; but will there be no one to remind you that in your old age you violated the most sacred laws from a miserable desire of a little more life?

但是如果你避开这些管理的井井有条的城市到你朋友Crito的Thessaly去，那里次序混乱，尽管人们会被你从监狱中逃跑的故事所吸引，你却只有遵循着那令人发笑的逃亡者的生活和习惯，整日包裹在羊皮中或者躲藏在其它的伪装中----这是非常可能的；但是就没有人会指责你吗，在这样大的年纪却因为贪图活的更长一点点而违反了最神圣的法律。

When him and the old lady come down in the morning all the family got up out of their chairs and give them good-day, and didnt set down again till they had set down.

起来，递给我和勃克，由我们向两位老人家举杯致敬，喝下了肚。鲍勃年纪最长，汤姆是老二。

He carried quite a goodish things for a boy of his age.

I think panic overstates it, let alone desperation, but Gottlieb is right that something big changes for women around that age.

不过，我认为"恐慌"还不至于，"绝望"更是夸大其辞，但是，有些方面洛莉说得很对，女人在这个年纪的确会经历极大的转变。

I have just read in the paper that three elderly people , sharing an apartment and all confined to wheelchairs because of cerebral palsy , were robbed by intruders . Three Mexican tourists who could no English were charged $ 167 for a taxi ride from Kennedy International Airport to downtown New York . The 217 blind newsdealers of New York recently complained that their customers are stealing coins from their trays , shortchanging them ,and frequently mugging them on their way home at night . A savings bank guard who assisted blind customers with their deposit and withdrawal slips was recently charged with forgery and grand larceny after a blind depositor discovered her balance was $ 169 instead of the $ 2857 which her Braille accounting indicated should be there . During last year's Central Park Bicycle Race , five of the racers were attacked and had their bikes stolen while the race was in progress . This is something of a handicap in a bicycle race .

以下是我刚刚从报纸上读到的：有三位上了年纪的老人，他们住在同一间公寓里，因为患有脑瘫，他们都不得不坐在轮椅上度日，而就是这样可怜的弱者也遭到入室盗窃者的劫掠；三个不会讲英语的墨西哥游客从肯尼迪国际机场乘车到纽约市中心，司机宰客要价167美元；最近，又有217位盲眼卖报人哭诉他们的辛酸遭遇：路人们从他们的盘子里偷走硬币，顾客经常少找钱，在夜间回家时屡遭劫匪光顾；一家银行专门协助盲人顾客办理存储手续的工作人员最近被控伪造文件和欺诈，因为他的一名顾客发现自己的账目上少了一大笔钱，2857美元的存款只剩下167美元；在去年中央公园自行车赛期间，有5位参赛者遭到攻击并被人抢走自行车，这让比赛可笑的成为了"障碍赛"。

Will they look back on the decisions I made when they're my age and say: 'Grandad made great decisions'?

当他们到了我这个年纪，会不会回想起我做的这些决定，并且说：'爷爷做出了伟大的决定'？

An old woman and her granddaughter are sitting in their home .

Pembroke Howard, lawyer and bechelor, aged about forty, was another old Virginian grandee with proved descent from the First Families.

镇上还有一位知名绅士潘布洛克·霍华德是个当律师的独身汉，年纪大约四十上下，他也是年代久远的弗吉尼亚名门望族，确实是初到美洲的家族的后裔。

Men of grandfatherly age were the worst for asking if you wanted to grow up to be president.

爷爷辈年纪的人是最令人讨厌的，他们老是问你是不是想长大了当总统这个问题。

But we don't care about Battlegrounds.

但我们并不在乎沙场中的显露。

Ah! don't mention it, the butcher's shop is a horror.
