无影无踪地

We met with nothing in the first Wood, except, that in a little Plain within the Wood, which was not above two Furlongs over, we saw five great Wolves cross the Road, full Speed one after another, as if they had been in Chase of some Prey, and had it in View; they took no Notice of us, and were gone, and out of our Sight in a few Moments.

在第一座树林里，我们什么也没有碰见，只在一块二百来码长宽的林间空地上，看见有五条大狼，一条跟着一条，飞快地在路上越过，大概是在追赶一个什么小动物吧，因为那小动物就在他们前面。那些狼没有注意到我们，不到一会儿，就跑得无影无踪了。

老蜉蝣说在我们这个时代很久之前生活并活跃着我们这个民族一群博闻强识的哲学家他们认为兰乔丽'这个广阔的世界本身存在不会超过18个小时。我以为这一观点不无道理因为伟大的太阳给予大自然中的万物以生命显而易见根据太阳的运动来看在我生活的这段时间里它已经很明显地落向地球另一端的海洋有朝一日必定会结束其行程无影无踪消失在环绕我们的海洋中整个世界将会变得漆黑一片、寒冷不堪必然造成生灵万物的死亡和毁灭。

We have glimpses that seem brilliant but quickly fade; we catch sight of images that tease us with connections and patterns that too-soon flow on; we hold in momentary view a comprehensive arrangement that dissolves rapidly and disappears.

我们常有灿烂的灵感，但它们总是转瞬即逝；我们常看到令人浮想联翩的影像，而它总是很快就消逝了；我们也曾短暂地拥有深邃的思想，但它又每每消失得无影无踪。

In 1963 several British coal miners found a stairs to the underground shaft when they excavated a tunnel in England. They heard clear sounds of movements of mechanical units from underground. But, soon the stairs and the entrance to the underground shaft disappeared without a trace.

1963年，英国的几名煤矿工人在挖掘一条隧道时发现一个通向地下井的楼梯，在楼梯口听到了地底下有清晰的机械运动声音，但楼梯和通向地下井的入口不一会儿就都消失得无影无踪了。

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.

交际能力和语法的关系应该是目标与途径的关系。
