数目众多的

Now the Big-Endian exiles have found so much credit in the Emperor of Blefuscu's court, and so much private assistance and encouragement from their party here at home, that a bloody war hath been carried on between the two empires for six and thirty moons with various success;during which time we have lost forty capital ships, and a much greater number of smaller vessels9, together with thirty thousand of our best seamen and soldiers;and the damage received by the enemy is reckoned to be somewhat greater than ours.

现在，高跟派的流亡者在布莱夫斯库的皇朝中得到了巨大信任、众多私人援助与来自祖国的党内支持，以至于场血腥的战争在两个帝国之间持续了三十六个月，各有所斩获；在这个过程中，咱们损失了四十艘大型战舰与数目更为巨大的小型船只，还有三十万精锐的海员与士兵；而据估计，敌人遭受的损失略大于咱们。

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

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
