总督的

"Even if there had been a disposition to turn the matter into ridicule , it must have been repressed and overpowered by the solemn presence of men no less dignified than the Governor, and several of his counsellors, a judge, a general, and the ministers of the town; all of whom sat or stood in a balcony of the meetinghouse, looking down upon the platform."

即使有人心里觉得这事有点可笑，也会因为几位至尊至贵的大人物的郑重出席，而吓得不敢放肆。总督、他的几位参议、一名法官、一名将军和镇上的牧师们就在议事厅的阳台上或坐或立，俯视着刑台。

In his "Political Dictionary" he later explained that negativism was the key word; that nabob, from the Urdu, meaning governor, hence self-important potentate, was the ideal practitioner of a negative outlook (see the use by John Adams in 1776); and that nattering was meant to denote complaining, but that Stewart Alsop, his pundit-mentor, had told him that the British use was closer to chattering.

他后来在其《政治词典》一书中解释说，"怀疑主义"是上面这个短语的关键词；来自乌尔都语的"大佬"本指总督，所以引申为妄自尊大的要人，用来指持怀疑主义观点者再合适不过（见约翰·亚当斯1776年对nabob一词的用法[注11]）；而nattering这个词被用来指发牢骚，但对他进行言传身教的权威评论家斯图亚特·阿尔索普告诉他说英国人对该词的使用接近chattering。

From my governor, to be neither of the green nor of the blue party at the games in the Circus, nor a partizan either of the Parmu larius or the Scutari us at the gladiators ' fights; from him too I learned endurance of labour, and to want little, and to work with my own hands, and not to meddle with other people's affairs, and not to be ready to listen to slander.

总督让我明白，游走于罗马竞技场的那些什么绿党蓝党都没有好下场，像帕尔姆拉尤人 [1]或者斯库台人[2]那样拉帮结派跟斗兽场的格斗士们去战斗更不会有什么好下场；是他让我懂得了生活的艰辛，寡欲的重要，应该用自己的双手去创造，不能干涉他人的事务，也不要轻信流言蜚语。

9 At once the royal secretaries were summoned--on the twenty-third day of the third month, the month of Sivan.

8：9 三月、就是西弯月、二十三日、将王的书记召来、按著末底改所吩咐的用各省的文字、各族的方言、并犹大人的文字方言写谕旨、传给那从印度直到古实一百二十七省的犹大人、和总督省长首领。

Then were the king#s sc***bes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was w***tten according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the w***ting thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their w***ting, and according to their language.

8：9 三月，就是西弯月二十三日，将王的书记召来。按着末底改所吩咐的，用各省的文字，各族的方言，并犹大人的文字方言写谕旨。传给那从印度直到古实一百二十七省的犹大人和总督省长首领。

"Yes, yes," continued he,'Twill be the same as it was in England. After Charles I., Cromwell; after Cromwell, Charles II, and then James II, and then some son-in-law or relation, some Prince of Orange, a stadtholder who becomes a king. Then new concessions to the people, then a constitution, then liberty. Ah, my friend!

" "是啊，英国也是这样的，"他继续说道，"查理一世以后，来了克伦威尔，克伦威尔之后是查理二世，然后是詹姆士二世，詹姆士二世的继承人是他的一个外甥，一个亲戚，一个什么爱尔兰亲王，一个自任为国王的总督，对人民作了一些新的让步，订立一部宪法，然后自由来了！

When we obtain our first glimpse of organised Hellenic society, it seems as if supereminent wisdom would keep alive the father''s power in Persons whose bodily strength had decayed; but the relations of Ulysses and Laertes in the Odyssee appear to show that, where extraordinary valour and sagacity were united in the son, the father in the decrepitude of age was deposed from the headship of the family.

早期战争中一年有四分之三时间辗转于战场上的军事护民官和士兵，以及在后一时期统治一省的地方总督和占领它的军团兵，他们实在不应该有任何实际理由使他们自认为是一个专制主人的奴隶；而在当时，所有这些逃避"家父权"的道路有不断增加的倾向。

The viceregal houseparty which included many wellknown ladies was chaperoned by Their Excellencies to the most favourable positions on the grandstand while the picturesque foreign delegation known as the Friends of the Emerald Isle was accommodated on a tribune directly opposite.

来自总督府家宴的宾客包括许多社交界知名淑女，她们在总督伉俪的陪同下，在正面看台的特等席上落座。坐在对面看台上的是衣着鲜艳的外国代表团。通称作绿宝石岛之友。

Old Governor Bellingham would come grimly forth, with his King James ruff fastened askew; and Mistress Hibbins, with some twigs of the forest clinging to her skirts, and looking sourer than ever, as having hardly got a wink of sleep after her night ride; and good Father Wilson, too, after spending half the night at a death-bed, and liking ill to be disturbed, thus early, out of his dreams about the glorified saints.

老总督贝灵汉会歪戴着他那詹姆士王时期的环状皱领，绷紧面孔走出来；西宾斯太太，由于彻夜邀游不曾阖眼，脸色会较平时更加难看，而裙上还会沾着林中细校；好心的威尔逊神父也会来的，他在死者床边熬了半夜，对于这么早就给从光荣的圣徒的美梦中惊醒，满肚子不高兴。

人眼前。老总督贝灵汉会歪戴著他那詹姆士王时期的环状皱领，绷紧面孔走出来；西宾斯太太，由於彻夜邀游不曾阖眼，脸色会较平时更加难看，而裙上还会沾著林中细校；好心的威尔逊神父也会来的，他在死者床边熬了半夜，对於这麼早就给从光荣的圣徒的美梦中惊醒，满肚子不高兴。

But we don't care about Battlegrounds.

但我们并不在乎沙场中的显露。

Ah! don't mention it, the butcher's shop is a horror.

啊！不用提了。提到肉，真是糟透了。
