度日

Day after day, I shambled through life like a zombie, with only instinct to guide me along.

日复一日，我的白痴岁月，空心佬倌，端靠常识度日罢了。

Whereas Guatemala City has shiny shopping malls, gated mansions and trendy restaurants, many indigenous Guatemalans scratch an inadequate living as sharecropping subsistence farmers.

但是，危地马拉城的购物中心、有警卫看守的豪宅及高档餐厅却熠熠生辉；与此同时，许多危地马拉的土著居民只得依靠从事佃农耕种的自然经济来艰难度日。

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&。

For a man who enjoys the finer things - he reportedly takes pleasure in Hollywood DVDs and expensive liquor, even as millions of North Koreans suffer in extreme hardship - you'd think Kim Jong Il would be a snappier dresser.

对于一个乐于享受、尽管治下千万的朝鲜人们正忍受着艰苦度日，仍据称喜爱好莱坞电影和高档酒的人来说，你也许认为金正日会是个着衣颇有风度的人。

These are the true and open votaries of Idleness, for whom she weaves the garlands of poppies, and into whose cup she pours the waters of oblivion; who exist in a state of unreffled stupidity, forgetting and forgotten; who have long ceased to live, and at whose death the survivors can only say that they have ceased to breathe.

这些人是闲散女神公开的真正的崇拜者。闲散女神为他们佩戴罂粟的花环，在他们的杯子里倾倒忘却之水。他们因而浑浑噩噩，度日穷年，忘却了他人也被他人所忘却。他们早就停止了生活，他们死去时，活着的人只会说他们不再呼吸。

Most of the earth's inhabitants work to get by.

在这个地球上，绝大多数人工作是为了度日。

There are wide variations in the way pensioners have benefited from the system.

靠领养老金度日的人们从这个体制中得益的方式有很大区别。

I'll have to tighten my belt, of course.

可以这样译：我要束紧腰带度日。

Hellip;I'll have to tighten my belt, of course.

可以这样译：我要束紧腰带度日。

There was one town where they even made me a guest of honor of the town council and paid my bill at the inn; in another, perhaps by way of compensation, they threw me in jail by order of the mayor (who was a drunken, tongue-tied albino), and kept me there for a day and a night, locked in a stinking cellar and nourished on garlic soup and a couple of mouthfuls of wine dregs.

曾经有一个城市，在那里我竟然受到他们地方委员的待遇，解决我的住宿费。讽刺的是，或许是要予以回报，依据他们市长的指示，他们又把我投进了监狱，关了我整整一天一夜。那是一个发了臭的地下室，只给我大蒜汤和破酒糟度日。

I didn't watch TV last night, because it .

昨晚我没有看电视，因为电视机坏了。

Since this year, in a lot of villages of Beijing, TV of elevator liquid crystal was removed.

今年以来，在北京的很多小区里，电梯液晶电视被撤了下来。
