我是有点扫兴，但我认为，将来不应容许美国国际集团或其它任何一家资本市场机构再这样玩弄我的钱了。

Then, we have two examples of "individual cooking" with various degrees of success: Hagrid doesn't seem to be much of a chef: His treacle fudge is so sticky that it cements together even Fang's jaws and neither his baking, nor his stoat sandwiches or his alleged beef casserole leave the trio very enthusiastic, whereas Mrs.

接下来，我们可以举两个"私人下厨"的例子以说明不同程度的烹饪水平：海格看起来不擅长下厨：他的乳汁软糖太粘以至于连大狗牙牙的牙都能粘住，他的烘烤水平也好不到哪去，他的白鼬三明治、所谓的牛肉浓汤使得他的烹饪三部曲非常的令人扫兴。

I'm sorry, you can never keep a straight face.

对不起，我是一个扫兴的人

One enjoyment was certain -- that of suitableness as companions; a suitableness which comprehended health and temper to bear inconveniences -- cheerfulness to enhance every pleasure -- and affection and intelligence, which might supply it among themselves if there were disappointments abroad.

这几个旅伴确实非常适当，所谓适当，就是说大家身体健壮，性子柔和，路上遇到不方便的地方可以忍受得了，这实在叫人称心如意。他们一个个都生气勃勃，这自然可以促进愉快，而且他们感情丰富，人又聪明，万一在外地碰到了什么扫兴的事情，互相之间仍然可以过得很快活。

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.
