捉弄

We should never play tricks on others.

我们都不要捉弄别人。

It is harder to identify Poison Oak in the winter, when it loses its leaves and looks like erect bare sticks coming from the ground.

个人强烈喜欢的一部老片子，虽然看的时候会有被编剧和导演任意捉弄的感觉，但就是这样的片子，这样的爱情才是偶们向往的吧。。。。。。

He is a prankster.

他老爱捉弄人。

But for some reason - perhaps due to some quirk of my conditioning - I could not accept these faults.

但不知怎的，可能是我心理作用的捉弄，我无法接受这些错误。

To the former her raillery was probably, as far as it regarded only himself, perfectly indifferent; but to the latter it was at first incomprehensible; and when its object was understood, she hardly knew whether most to laugh at its absurdity , or censure its impertinence , for she considered it as an unfeeling reflection on the colonel's advanced years, and on his forlorn condition as an old bachelor.

对于前者，她的戏弄只牵涉到他一个人，因而他也毫不在乎。但是对于后者，她的嘲弄起先是莫名其妙的，后来弄清了是针对谁的，玛丽安真不知道是该嘲笑这事的荒谬，还是责难它的欠妥。她认为这是对上校上了年纪和孤苦伶灯的单身汉处境的无情捉弄。

It was full of sap, full of leaves, and full of boughs6; but now in vain does the busy art of man7 pretend to vie8 with nature, by tying that withered bundle of twigs9 to its sapless trunk; it is now at best but the reverse of what it was, a tree turned upside-down, the branches on the earth, and the root in the air; it is now handled by every dirty wench10, condemned to do her drudgery11, and, by a capricious12 kind of fate, destined to make other things clean, and be nasty itself ; at length13, worn to the stumps in the service of the maids, it is either thrown out of doors or condemned to the last use—of kindling14 a fire.

它曾生气勃勃，枝繁叶茂，但如今爱管闲事的人却动手把枯枝捆扎于它那枯桩上，装模作样地同自然徒然抗争。如今它充其量只是以前模样的倒转——一棵本末倒置的树，枝条伏地，根部朝天，听由脏兮兮的女佣随手使唤，并且被无常的命运捉弄，注定要去清扫他物，把自己搞得污秽不堪。最后，被女佣用成一根光杆儿，要么被扔出门外，要么最后充当引火的木柴。

Who used to fuck with you in the schoolyard, Tommy.

在学校操场捉弄你的混蛋之一汤米

Oh yeah,desperation is a keeper of hope ,and hope acts as a guide for desperation setsin,hope steps to the side,quietlyobserving your despair,your pain and your helptessness,it smiles at you, laughs at you as you fall prey to the pranks that desperation has played on you ,laughs at how you can't see past the tip lf yout nose that hopesurrender to desperation,hope might come out and save you ,but that'sleave you along only hope has the power to do that,so ,good luck!

对了，绝望是希望的守护神，希望是绝望的引路人，当绝望来临的时候，希望便在一旁默默的看着一切，你是如何的不安，如何的痛苦，如何的不知所措，他在一旁笑着，嘲笑你被绝望捉弄的样子，嘲笑你目光狭窄看不到他的存在，在你被绝望搞的不成样子的时候，希望有可能出来救你，但只是"有可能"，因为除了希望，没有什么可以劝说绝望离去，但是唯一可以做到这些的，所以，祝你好运

He was the sharp, clever boy who wasn't to be taken for a ride by anybody.

他是那种敏锐，机灵的孩子，谁也别想捉弄他。

When I am waiting for you, you must laugh at me ? Do you tease me on purpose?

时候，我等着你，你一定要笑我，难道你们捉弄我的目的吗？

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.
