普卢塔克

It accepts everything royally; it is not too particular about its Venus; its Callipyge is Hottentot; provided that it is made to laugh, it condones; ugliness cheers it, deformity provokes it to laughter, vice diverts it; be eccentric and you may be an eccentric; even hypocrisy, that supreme cynicism, does not disgust it; it is so literary that it does not hold its nose before Basile, and is no more scandalized by the prayer of Tartuffe than Horace was repelled by the "hiccup" of Priapus.

巴黎每天要唱一百万公升的水，但是这并不妨碍它在适当的时候打鼓吹号敲钟，进入警备状态。①普卢塔克（Plutaroue，约46？25），古希腊唯心主义哲学家，古希腊罗马杰出活动家传记的作者。②多米齐安（Domitian，51？6），罗马皇帝（81？6）。除此之外，巴黎是个好孩子。它豁达大度地接受一切，在美女面前它是不难说话的，它的美女是霍屯督①，只要它笑，凡事都好商量，丑态使它欢跃，畸形使它喜悦，恶德使它忘忧，只要与众不同，便可博得众人欢心，伪善即使是绝顶无耻的行为，也不会使它暴跳。它是那样爱好文学，以致在巴西尔②的跟前也不会捂着鼻子，它对达尔杜弗③的祈祷所起的反感并不比贺拉斯对普里阿普斯打嗝的反感来得更强烈。

According to Plutarch, no evidence of a snake was found in Cleopatra's mausoleum.

根据普卢塔克的记载，在克利奥帕特拉的陵墓里没有发现有蛇。

Greek author Plutarch: What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.

如古希腊作家普卢塔克所写的："我们对内在修养的追求将会改变外在现实。"

For every Dickens or Austen book, it has published works such as Plutarch or the short stories of William Trevor.

每出版一本狄更斯或奥斯汀的作品，也会相应地出版普卢塔克的作品，或威廉特雷弗的短篇小说。

They are often more afraid. What is more, those who choose not to empathise may enable real monsters.

的末端学到的，也是我18岁时在那冒险搜寻但不知道怎么定义的重要事情之一就是，如古希腊作家普卢塔克所写的：&我们对内在修养的追求将会改变外在现实。&

I go back, for example, to reading Plutarch. He reminds you that even in the golden days of Greece and Rome, from which so much that is splendid in our own civilization derives, there was a great deal of what we find so loathsome in life today: war, strife, corruption, treason, double-crossing, intolerance, tyranny, rabble-rousing.

例如，我重读普卢塔克的《希腊罗马名人比较列传》，从中可以看出，战乱动荡、**苛政并非当世之灾，背信弃义、危言惑世亦非时人之弊；即使在我们辉煌文明之源的古希腊古罗马黄金时代，这些灾祸也无法避免。

According to the works of Greek and Roman historians, including Plutarch, Chandragupta as a youth helped the Macedonians in their invasion of India, but later spoke too boldly to Alexander, who ordered him to be put to death

根据希腊和罗马史学家们包括普卢塔克的记载，旃陀罗笈多年轻时曾帮助马其顿人侵略印度，后来由于在亚历山大面前说话太放肆，被下令处死。

Certainly, there should be people whose fortunes are like Homer's verses that have a slide and easiness more than the verses of other poets, as Plutarch says of Timoleon's fortune in respect of that of Agesilaus or Epaminondas.

的确有些人，他们的幸运像荷马的诗，他的诗比其他诗人的诗通顺流畅，如古希腊作家普卢塔克将提摩勒昂的幸运跟阿格西劳斯或伊帕米南达斯的幸运对比时说的那样。

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。
