未曾

And the fattest woman I have ever seen in my life dozing in a straight-backed chair. It was as if a sack of grain was supported by a matchbox .

还有一位我生平所未曾见过最胖的女人坐在一把直背椅子上打瞌睡，那简直就像一口袋粮食放在一个火柴盒上一样。

还有一位我平生所未曾见过的最胖的女人，她坐在一把直背椅子上打瞌睡，那简直就像一口袋粮食放在一个火柴盒上一样。

An alarming number of the world's great rivers no longer reach the sea. They include the Indus, Rio Grande, Colorado, Murray-Darling and Yellow rivers. These are the arteries of the world's main grain-growing areas.

许多世界大河未曾入海就已断流，数量相当惊人：印度河、格兰德河、科罗拉多河、墨累-达令河和黄河莫不如此——而这些都是世界主要粮食种植地区的大动脉。

Three theories dominate:(1) it is being dissolved in the ocean, and then it precipitates to the sea bottom as carbon rain; or (2) it is being deposited in soils by microbes; or (3), most controversial, the lost carbon is fueling growth of the world's savanna grass, or being turned into tree wood, on an imperceptible but massive scale that we haven't yet been able to measure.

其中有三个理论作为主导：(1)被海洋溶解了，最终作为碳雨沉到洋底。(2)被微生物降解到泥土中。(3)最具争议的，消失的碳变成了热带草原，或者成了树木，以一种我们未曾察觉但是却很容量很大的循环存在。

Like vast clouds of steam from thermal springs in winter the years of things unsaid and now unsayable -- admissions, declarations, shames, guilts, fears -- rose around them.

宛若冬日温泉蒸腾而起的大团雾气，多年未曾出口的言语以及此刻难以出口的话──承认、宣布、羞惭、愧疚、恐惧──团团包围住两人。

Yes , many artists have moved to other areas, such as Williamsburg, in Brooklyn, but that has merely spread the hipness rather than shifted its centre of gravity.

是的，许多艺术家搬到了布鲁克林的威廉斯堡等地方，但这仅仅传播了嬉皮的风格，而未曾撼动这种文化的中心地位。

She had changed her gown, and was wearing a house dress as fresh and elegant as the other had been.

她穿着另一件家常穿的，但同样美观、未曾穿过的连衣裙。

That is to say, under the surface of leisure or hubbubs, the world seems to be a place of apathy and changes which people cannot know or control.

有一个基本事实是，廖真武的这批作品，都选择了偏冷的黑白灰色调，而没有现实世界五光十色的再现，这多少能表明艺术家试图透过自己的作品来表达出他眼中的这个世界的某些内在特点，即表面的闲散或者喧闹的背后，似乎充满了各种人们无法知道也无从知道的冷漠和变数，命运的掌控，对于这些人来说，似乎是一个未曾想过也难以企及的话题。

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。
