年纪大

As I said,many of us were old,and most of us were indoor men,and I was amused to see how close to the head some of us held our hats,the merest barleycorn of interval being maintained for reverence sake,wheras the sexton and the clergymanb had slipped on those black velvt skull-caps which God,in his infinite mercy,either completely overlooks,or seeing,smiles at.

我已经说过，我们之中许多人都上了年纪，大部分平时又是深居简出，这时候他们手里拿着的帽子贴着脑瓜那么近，为了对死者表示敬意才挪开一颗大麦粒那么大的距离，我看着心里不禁感到好笑，与此同时，教堂的工役和牧师却早已悄悄带上他们那黑天鹅绒的小帽，对此，无限仁慈的上帝若非一时没有瞅清，定是看了而一笑置之。

Casting a glance in the direction of the church before entering his home, he beheld standing by the vestry-door a group of girls, of ages between twelve and sixteen, apparently awaiting the arrival of some other one, who in a moment became visible; a figure somewhat older than the school-girls, wearing a broad-brimmed hat and highly-starched cambric morning-gown, with a couple of books in her hand.

他在进自己的家门之前，朝教堂的方向瞥了一眼，看见有一群女孩子站在小礼拜室的门口，年纪在十二岁到十六岁之间，显然在那儿等候某个人的到来，不一会儿，那个人果然出现了；看样子她的年纪比那些女孩子的年纪都要大，戴一顶宽边软帽，穿一件浆洗得发硬的细纱长衫，手里拿着两本书。

An irate housewife chased a census taker down the street with an ax, yelling that it was "none of the government's damn business" how old she was or how many bathrooms she had.

有位怒不可遏的家庭主妇拿着一把斧头把人口普查员追到了街上，还大叫大嚷道，她有多大年纪、有几间盥洗室，"这关政府的屁事"。

The white lane stretched before him, and his eyes were upon it; but they were staring into next year, and not at the lane. He loved her; ought he to marry her? Dared he to marry her? What would his mother and his brothers say? What would he himself say a couple of years after the event? That would depend upon whether the germs of staunch comradeship underlay the temporary emotion, or whether it were a sensuous joy in her form only, with no substratum of everlastingness.

I was living in a shack next door to Helen with my ex-wife's grandparents. I spent a lot of time with Helen and keep visiting SB The small child on the photo later died from malnutrition. The older girl was many years after strangled to death by her husband.

我和我妻子的祖父母住在海伦隔壁的一个小间里，我花了大量的时间拜访了她，照片上的年纪小的那个小孩在不久后因为营养不良而死亡，照片上那个年纪稍大的小孩在许多年后被海伦丈夫扼死。

The senior officers were busily engaged in trying to get hold of straw and potatoes, and the means of sustenance for the soldiers generally, while the younger ones spent their time as they always did, some over cards (money was plentiful, though there was nothing to eat), others over more innocent games, a sort of quoits and skittles.

年纪比较大的军官都在关心如何获得麦秸和土豆的事，总之是关心官兵的给养，年纪比较轻的军官还像平时一样，有的人打牌（虽然缺少食粮，但是钱却很多），有的人耍着无害的游戏——投钉戏和击木游戏。

We were simply hit over the head by the poet's misogynistic imagery.There is nothing so aggravating as fresh boy who is too old to ignore and too young to kick.

没有一样东西比新毕业的年轻小伙子更叫人恼火了，要不理他么，年纪已嫌太大，要踢他一脚么，又嫌年纪太幼。

The oldest occupies a room by himself - which he vacates when he leaves for boarding school, possibly even at the age of nine or ten.

年纪最大的自己有一间屋子---等他去了寄宿学校，有时可能只有九岁、十岁的年纪---屋子就腾出来。

A man shall see, where there is a house full of chidren, one or two of the eldest repected, and the youngest made wantons; but in the midst, some that are, as it were forgotten, who many times, nevertheless, prove the best.

在子女多的家庭里，人们会看到，年纪最大的一、两个受到尊敬，年纪最小的成了纨绔子弟，而中间的几个，虽然似乎被遗忘，然而往往被证明是最好的。

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。
