旅行衣箱

Robert lifted a portmanteau from the top of a large trunk, and kneeling down before it with a lighted candle in his hand, carefully examined the lock.

罗伯特从一只大衣箱上面取下一只旅行皮箱，手中拿了一支点着的蜡烛，跪在这皮箱面前，仔仔细细地查看皮箱上的锁。

In effect,mobile computing\'s already doing that with thesize and cost of digital components shrinking rapidly,eachbreakthrough in mobile computer-a 30 pound,battery-operateddazzler when it was introduced in the mid-1980s-is today\'selectronic equivalent of a steamer trunk.

实际上，移动式计算已经在这样做，数字部件的尺寸与成本在迅速地减少，移动式计算机设计的每一次突破如此迅速地使以前的机器相形见绌，昨天的便携机(这种重30磅，由电池驱动的80年代中期推出的明星产品)在今天是相当于老式的旅行大衣箱一样的产品。

Robert brushed his coat sleeve across the worn leather-covered lid, upon which the initials G.T. were inscribed with big brass-headed nails; but Mrs. Maloney, the laundress, must have been the most precise of housewives, for neither the portmanteau nor the trunk were dusty.

罗伯特用他的外套袖子拂了一下破旧的皮箱盖，盖子上有大铜头钉子缀成的姓名缩写：G.T。；洗衣女佣马隆尼夫人必定是最尽责的管家婆了，因为大衣箱也好，旅行皮箱也好，都毫无灰尘。

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。
