怀疑论者

The European Union is in trouble. But rather than smirking which would be the normal reaction of a sceptic I am alarmed.

欧盟现在陷入了困境，但我并未因此而窃笑--那也许是怀疑论者的正常反应--而是感到惶恐不安。

So long as I believe that I have a system of beliefs, I cannot reconfigure it so that it lacks a crucial belief challenged by the Cartesian skeptic—the transcendentally invulnerable belief that there is an independent world of enduring physical objects.

只要我相信我拥有一个信念系统，我就不能重构我的信念系统，以致其缺少被笛卡儿式怀疑论者所挑战的，但至关重要的信念，即the transcendentally invulnerable的关于独立世界的信念。

Like the early sophists and their successor Socrates, who in the apology declares "all that I know is that I know nothing," the early skeptics claimed that before you accept anything as true, you should subject it to careful, rigorous scrutiny , seeking proof based on clear and undoubtable evidence.

正如早期的辩论者们以及他们的传人苏格拉底一样---在《申辩》中他这样说道&我唯一知道的是我的无知&，早期的怀疑论者说道，在你接受某事为真之前，你一定要仔细，要慎密地审视，寻求最直接的无可置疑的证据为其基础。

Psychic powers and extra-sensory perception rank among the top ten unexplained phenomena if for no other reason than that belief in them is so widespread. Many people believe that intuition is a form of psychic power, a way of accessing arcane or special knowledge about the world or the future. Researchers have tested people who claim to have psychic powers, though the results under controlled scientific conditions have so far been negative or ambiguous. Some have argued that psychic powers cannot be tested, or for some reason diminish in the presence of skeptics or scientists. If this is true, science will never be able to prove or disprove the existence of psychic powers

对灵力和超感知觉的信仰流布甚广，就凭这一点，这两样东西也应该进入十大未解之谜的行列许多人相信，直觉就是灵力的一种表现形式、一种获取有关世界或未来的特异知识的方法研究人员已经对一些自称拥有灵力的人进行了测试，但是迄今为止，他们在受控实验室条件下得到的都还是否定或含糊的结果有些人辩称灵力不可测试，因为它会因怀疑论者或科学家的在场而莫名其妙地减弱如果这是真的，科学就永远无法证明或驳斥灵力的存在

The wrestler is a sceptic: he believes that the jewel is irretrievably lost and can never be found; worse, he even deplores what he views as the impermanent, insubstantial nature of that jewel - it is like a phantom, he says,"quick to arise and quick to perish", and he castigates the doctor for speaking mere "empty words" when the latter tells him that the jewel is actually within.

这个摔跤手是一个怀疑论者：他相信这个宝石是不可避免的丢失了并且不能再被发现了，坏的，他甚至强烈反对他把它当做暂时的，没有实体性的宝石-中就象一个幽灵，他说&很快出现很快消失&，而他斥责医生仅仅只是在说空话当后者告诉他珍宝确实就在他身上。

Lord Jesus, may we so live our lives together as believers that it disarms the skeptic and reveals your grace and truth.

主耶稣，但愿我们信徒一起的生活，能消除怀疑论者的疑惑，彰显祢的恩典和真理。

This is a good book for skeptics because one of the most skeptical of all was Jane.

This has caused spluttering among monarchists and Eurosceptics alike.

As she looked at Warrington's manly face, and dark, melancholy eyes, she had settled in her mind that he must have been the victim of an unhappy attachment.
