洋洋自得的

He was now wearing an adjutant's uniform, with one epaulette and a shoulder knot. He walked with a jaunty strut, which would have been ridiculous if he had not been so handsome, and if his good-looking face had not expressed such simple-hearted satisfaction and good spirits.

现在他穿着一套带肩章和穗带的副官制服，迈着稳重的雄赳赳的步伐向前走，假如他长得不清秀，假如他那好看的脸上不流露着和善的洋洋自得和愉快的神态，他的步伐就会令人发笑了。

His features were like his sister's, but in her, everything was radiant with joyous life, with the complacent, never-failing smile of youth and life and an extraordinary antique beauty of figure. The brother's face on the contrary was clouded over by imbecility and invariably wore a look of aggressive fretfulness, while he was thin and feebly built.

他的面部和他妹妹的一模一样，但他妹妹那乐观愉快的、洋洋自得、充满青春活力、朝夕不变的微笑和身段超人的古典美，使她容光焕发，倾城倾国；反之，哥哥的长相却显得愚昧昏庸，总是表现出十分自信和不满的神态，他身子既瘦且弱，疲软无力。

Nature sent him into the world strong and lusty, in a thriving condition, wearing his own hair on his head, the proper branches of this reasoning vegetable, till the axe of intemperance has lopped off his green boughs, and left him a withered trunk, he then flies to art, and puts on a periwig, valuing himself upon an unnatural bundle of hairs, all covered with powder, that never grew on his head; but now should this our broomstick pretend to enter the scene, proud of those birchen spoils it never bore, and all covered with dust, through the sweeping of the finest lady's chamber, we should be apt to ridicule and despise its vanity.

刚来到这个世界上时，它是多么的遒劲有力，多么的活力十足，欣欣向荣。头上长着与生俱来的嫩枝，枝叶繁茂，然而，人类的斧头无节制地将它的枝干砍掉，直到留给它一个枯萎的树干。然后，它只得求助艺术，戴上一丛自己看来并不自然的"假发"，而且那假发永远也不会生长。自己则完全掩埋在灰尘中。但是，我们的扫柄也应这样登场——把桦木的枝条安在自己身上，并且为之洋洋自得吗？它们身上覆盖了尘土，尽管还是最尊贵的夫人房里的尘土。即便这样，它的虚荣心，也应该受到我们的嘲笑与鄙视。

Self-complacent, impudent, deluded by vanity and haughtiness due to wealth, the demoniac perform sacrifices out of pride, in name only, such sacrifices are performed without any regard for scriptural injunctions.

洋洋自得，放肆无礼，由于富有而被空虚和傲慢所迷惑，着了魔的人是出于自尊才供奉祭祀，仅仅是名义上的，这样的供奉祭祀与经中规定的指令毫不相干。

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。
