Perhaps worst of all, he fluffed a chance, near the end of Ehud Olmert's Israeli prime ministership earlier this year, to grasp Israel's best offer so far, albeit privately mooted when Mr Olmert was on his way out. Had Mr Abbas said yes, it might have been hard for a future Israeli government to back out.

也许最糟糕的是，他浪费了时机，在今年早些时候，埃胡德·奥尔默特就任以色列总理末期，阿巴斯未能接受以色列迄今最好是建议，虽然是在奥尔默特即将卸任时私下提出的，如果阿巴斯总统接受了这个提议，那么将来的以色列政府可能也很难反悔。

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。
