得时

As one navigates around Hong Kong's archipelago of skyscrapers, connected by overhead walkways, one now looks with some concern at the AIG Tower and perhaps with a little more respect at the dark-glass cutting edge of IM Pei's Bank of China tower - although Norman Foster's HSBC still seems to be holding up well.

就像在香港那些被人行天桥相互连接着的各种摩天大楼穿行，人们在看 AIG 大厦时可能会充满忧虑，而看贝聿铭设计的那幢深色玻璃外墙，呈刀刃状的中银大厦时，却可以让人感到更加自信--虽然福斯特设计的汇丰大厦也还挺得下去。

Her family doctor in Virginia hadn't told her until she was through the first paroxysms of the attack, and on the road to recovery, that he thought it possible that she might yet contract the fatal "blackwater fever."

在维吉利亚时，医生并没告诉她，直到第一次复发时，她才知道，在恢复期间，医生认为她或许得的是可怕的"黑水热"。

The strange silence, broken only by the measured dip of the oar and the soft plashing of the water against your cleaving prow, and the occasional hoarsecries of the gondoliers as you pass another of these black, funeral barges; the few and feeble lamps, giving you momentary glimpses of balconies and finely carven arches; the sudden intensification of the silence and the darkness as you abruptly leave the Grand Canal and slip along one of the narrower waterways, always with tall houses on both sides of you, and above you a clear sky of stars, stars reflected tremblingly on the black waters----thousands of tourists must have tried to describe all this, but the magic and the mystery and the beauty of it defy human speech.

此情此景若非无法追忆，恐怕早已印入脑海，难以忘记了。船桨缓缓划过水面，船首掠过河水溅起片片水花；同黑色肃穆的驳船擦身而过时，船公偶尔发出低沉嘶哑的呼声；只有这桨声、水声、叫声才会打破异常的沉寂。借着微弱稀疏的灯光可见阳台和雕刻精美的拱门。而当船驶出大运河，穿梭入狭小的水道时，宁静和幽暗越发强烈凝重；放眼两岸房屋林立；抬头仰望，明净的夜空布满星辰，荡得碧波星光粼粼——数以千计的游客试图描绘出这一切，但却无法言尽其魔力、神秘和美丽。

Under Serallach, Gaudi worked on the project of the Villa de Arcadia, a recreational farm in Montjüic. Working together with Juan Salamera, he learned industrial design by working on the design of the trolley railways to unite the farm with the Peace Gate. Under del Villar, Gaudi designed the apse and the chamber of the Virgin of the Monastery of Monserrat. Under Punti, he learned the skills of carpentry, ironsmith, ceramist, and glassmaker.

和Serrallach合作时，高第负责一个位於Montjüic的休闲农场Villa de Arcadia的计画，与Juan Salamera合作，他在建造连结农庄与和平门的电车里习得工业设计；在del Villar门下，高第设计了Monserrat修道院的原顶和圣母像房间的格局，与Punti合作时，他接触了木匠、铁匠、陶艺及玻璃工匠的技术。

I don't want to live in a city where a woman advertises for a lost dog and receives dozens fo telephone calls from a variety of people saying they are torturing the animal and will continue to do so unless she pays large sums of money ; or in a city where I am told I must always have $10 in my wallet for a possible mugger because without that I will surely be stabbed ; or in a city where my mailman leaves a slip in my box a Christmas suggesting the size of the tip he expects . I shall find some of these things wherever I go , and perhaps all of them , but I don't think so .

我还是不想住在这样一座城市中，当一位女士为丢失的小狗刊登寻物启事时，这座城市里的一大帮骗子会打来电话要挟大笔的赎金；或是在这座城市出行时必须随身为可能遇到的劫匪预备上10美元，否则遇上了就得被人扎一刀；或是这座城市的邮递员们都厚颜无耻地在圣诞节索要更多的小费，他们通常会在你的信箱里留下暗示。

ZL03 2 354312.The innovations include: automatic self-closing and reliably sealed valve structure: the design of duplex valve clack with pilot valve to tackle the problem of reverse seal structured valve being difficult to be opened; an automatic drain control device to automatically drain the remaining water from the hydrant; protective plate provided between the hydrant body and the valve block to serve as a connection between the hydrant body and the valve block, which is the first one to be damaged when the ground hydrant is clashed, and prevent pulling-off of the whole above-ground part of the fire hydrant, so as to properly protect the main parts from any damage. The self-closing and reliably sealed valve now prevents drain of water, and only the damaged protective plate is needed to be replaced before immediate re-operation. Thus the repair work after clashing is very easy and simple.

其创新点为：具有能自动关闭并可靠密封的阀门结构：采用有先导阀复式结构阀瓣设计，解决反向密封结构阀门开启沉重费力的难题；设计自控排水装置，能自动排除栓体内余水；在栓体和阀体之间设计撞裂板，它既起到连接栓体和阀体的中介作用，又可在地上消火栓被撞击时率先破裂毁坏，并使露出地面的栓体不见整体脱落，有效保护各主体部件的完好无损，而此时阀门的自闭式结构可靠密封阀门阻止水源外泄，修复时只需更换损坏的撞裂板即可立即复位投入使用，使被撞后的修复工作变得十分轻松简便。

I think of your shattered life Of your struggle, of your strife While ladies dance in the moonlit night Champagne parties on chartered cruises I see your wasted form, your ghostly sight I feel your festering wounds, your battered bruises Ryan White, symbol of agony and pain Of ignorant fear gone insane In a hysterical society With free-floating anxiety And feigned piety I miss you, Ryan White You showed us how to stand and fight In the rain you were a cloudburst of joy The sparkle of hope in every girl and boy In the depths of your anguished sorrow Was the dream of another tomorrow.

"They feel like they're preparing you for New York," Colter Bean, a 30-year-old reliever, said of the fans."They'll let you know when you're doing bad, but they'll let you know when you're doing good, too."

"他们感觉是在为纽约而准备你，" Colter Bean，一位30岁的中继，说到球迷时，"当你打不好，他们将会让你知道；但当你打得好时，他们也会让你知道。"

I suggested at the beginning of this chapter that when things come under threat, they often come into clearer view.

本章开头时，我提到：东西在遭受威胁时往往让人看得更清楚。

But today, glance out the window of one of this city's 3,000 high-rises around 6 p.m., when snarling masses of horn-honking cars tend to congeal in gridlock, and it is hard to escape the impression that Shanghai, at least for now, is losing its bet.

但是今天，当你早上6点从这个城市的3000多栋大厦其中之一向窗外眺望时，当路上大群的不断鸣笛的汽车堵得动弹不得时，你很难抹去这样的印象：上海，至少现在，正在输掉它当年下的赌注。

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。
