微不足道地

One always discovers them voluntarily or involuntarily at the same task, namely at dragging the partie honteuse of our inner world into the foreground and seeking the truly effective and directing agent, that which has been decisive in its evolution, in just that place where the intellectual pride of man would least desire to find it (in the vis inertiae of habit, for example, or in forgetfulness, or in a blind and chance mechanistic hooking-together of ideas, or in something purely passive, automatic, reflexive, molecular, and thoroughly stupid)—what is it really that always drives these psychologists in just this direction?

人们发现他们总是在有意或无意地做着同一件事：就是把我们内心世界中的龌龊部分暴露出来，从中寻找积极的、先进的、于人类发展有决定作用的因素，而这是些人类智慧的尊严最不愿意看到的部位，他们就是在这些习惯势力中，在健忘中，在盲目和偶然的思想网络和思想机制中，在任何一种纯粹被动的、机械的、反射性的、微不足道的和本质上是愚蠢的部位找寻积极的因素。到底是什么东西使得这些心理学家总是朝着这一个方向努力？

How unlikely, that a short-lived biped on a two-bit planet should be able to gauge the speed of light, lay bare the structure of an atom, or calculate the gravitational tug of a black hole.

想想这一切是多么地不可思议：在一个不起眼的星球上，生存着一种拥有短暂生命的两足生物，然而，正是这些微不足道的小生物，不但测量出了光速，而且把原子层层剥开，还计算出了黑洞的引力。

Four-year college time, I often to find a lots number of places, myself to study in classroom,Just like morning reading on the beach, reading on the mountain of our school; on the roof of each building in my college, I don't know how many space around the campus has left my footprints.

四年大学生涯中，找了很多这样的地方，一个人去自习自不用说，早上跑到海边晨读，跑到后山小亭去看书；跑到各个教学楼的楼顶等，不知道待过多少空间，在校园各地都留下了自己的脚印，有时感觉自己很容易满足，在别人看来微不足道的地点都能成为我灵感迸发，动力十足的源泉地。

I will instill a divine discontent into the mind of everyone who can do more than he is doing.

六、我会在可以有更大作为的人心中灌输一种属灵的不满；并非藉此批评他的生命微不足道，而是给他一个异像，激励他满怀热情地为主做大事。

We have no common name for a mime of Sophron or Xenarchus and a Socratic Conversation; and we should still be without one even if the imitation in the two instances were in trimeters or elegiacs or some other kind of verse--though it is the way with people to tack on 'poet' to the name of a metre, and talk of elegiac-poets and epic-poets, thinking that they call them poets not by reason of the imitative nature of their work, but indiscriminately by reason of the metre they write in.

索夫农 、森那库斯和苏格拉底式的对话采用的模仿没有一个公共的名称；三音步诗、挽歌体或其他类型的诗的模仿也没有——人们把&诗人&这一名词和格律名称结合到一起，称之为挽歌体诗人或者史诗诗人，他们被称为诗人，似乎只是因为遵守格律写作，而非他们作品的模仿本质。

The relationship between communicative competence and grammar teaching should be that of the ends and the means.

交际能力和语法的关系应该是目标与途径的关系。
