步步进逼

The Trojans led by him and by Iamenus, Orestes, Adamas the son of Asius, Thoon and Oenomaus, raised a loud cry of battle and made straight for the wall, holding their shields of dry ox-hide above their heads; for a while the two defenders remained inside and cheered the Achaeans on to stand firm in the defence of their ships; when, however, they saw that the Trojans were attacking the wall, while the Danaans were crying out for help and being routed, they rushed outside and fought in front of the gates like two wild boars upon the mountains that abide the attack of men and dogs, and charging on either side break down the wood all round them tearing it up by the roots, and one can hear the clattering of their tusks, till some one hits them and makes an end of them- even so did the gleaming bronze rattle about their breasts, as the weapons fell upon them; for they fought with great fury, trusting to their own prowess and to those who were on the wall above them.

就像这样，二位凭待自己的勇力和强健的臂膀，站候着高大的、正向他们迎面扑来的阿西俄斯，毫不退让。特洛伊人直冲而上，对着修筑坚固的护墙，高举着生牛皮做就的战盾，裂开嗓门呼喊，围拥在首领阿西俄斯身边，围拥在亚墨诺斯、俄瑞斯忒斯和阿西俄斯之子阿达马斯，以及俄伊诺毛斯和索昂的身旁。其时，墙内的拉丕赛人正极力催促胫甲坚固的阿开亚人保卫海船，但是，当他们看到特洛伊人正冲向护墙，而达奈人则惊叫着溃跑时，二位冲将出去，拼杀在门前，像两头野猪，在山上站等一群步步进逼的对手，骚嚷的狗和猎人，横冲直撞，连根掀倒一棵棵大树，撕甩出一块块碎片，使劲磨咬着牙齿，发出吱吱嘎嘎的声响，直到被人投枪击中，夺走它们的生命――就像这样，挡护他们胸肩的捏亮的铜甲承受着枪械的重击，发出铿锵的震响。

Meanwhile Ottoman Turkish was attacking Byzantine Empire from all sides, lots of Byzantine scholars migrated to Italy in order to seek military help from Latin West for Byzantine Empire. Using their abundant attainments of classical culture, they participated in the movement of reviving ancient Greek culture in Italy, and had promoted the development of the Renaissance of Italy forcefully.

与此同时，拜占廷帝国面临奥斯曼土耳其的步步进逼，为了向西方寻求军事援助，大批拜占廷学者移居意大利，他们以其丰富的古典文化素养，积极参与意大利的古希腊文化复兴，有力地推动了意大利文艺复兴运动的发展。

At the outbreak of the Civil War the Union was depending upon hand-to-mouth borrowing to meet expenses and with the beginning of hostilities at Fort Sumter in April 1861 the burden of funding the war effort and paying employees, including soldiers in the field, offered no small challenge.

联邦财政自 1857 年&大恐慌&来未曾好转，由于美国南方步步进逼，威胁退出联邦，一场战事或一触即发， 1860 年美国总统林肯大选时，至要从债券市场集资更是难上加难。在内战爆发之际，联邦已到了靠现买现卖维持支出的地步。

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。
