消磨

The game was written around Christmas 1998, when Jochen Voss had some time to waste.

这游戏大约在一九九八年圣诞节时被写成的，那时 Jochen Voss 有一些时间可以消磨。

Not having planned to buy anything, my wife and I paid a visit to the Times Plaza the other day. We were just wandering and wandering, hoping to spend the time meaninglessly.

前几天去时代广场逛了逛，本来没有打算买什么东西，只想漫无目的地消磨时光。

And they produce a host of books written by Musaeus and Orpheus , who were children of the Moon and the Muses--that is what they say-- according to which they perform their ritual, and persuade not only individuals, but whole cities, that expiations and atonements for sin may be made by sacrifices and amusements which fill a vacant hour, and are equally at the service of the living and the dead; the latter sort they call mysteries, and they redeem us from the pains of hell, but if we neglect them no one knows what awaits us.

人们还可以从月亮女神和缪斯女神的孩子们——默塞俄斯和俄尔甫斯的一系列著作中得到相同的印证——也就是说——依据他们在书中描写的古老风俗礼仪，当时的礼制不仅规劝个人而且号召全城老少，都应该以贡献牺牲和歌娱欢宴的方式替原罪去抵罪和赎罪以消磨时光，并且对活着的人和死去的人要一视同仁；歌娱欢宴方面的活动后来就形成了祓除祭祀之类的神秘宗教，而正是这些神秘宗教救我们逃离苦海，谁胆敢轻侮它们必会为自己招来无妄之灾。

According to some pilots, members of crews have even been known to play DVDs on laptops in the cockpit to pass the time on particularly long overwater and international flights.

据一些飞行员说，在特别长时间的越洋飞行和国际航班时，机组人员甚至有在驾驶舱通过笔记本电脑看DVD消磨时间的。

I could not wring from my little lady how she had spent the day; except that, as I supposed, the goal of her pilgrimage was Penistone Crags; and she arrived without adventure to the gate of the farmhouse, when Hareton happened to issue forth, attended by some canine followers, who attacked her train.

我不能从我小姐口中盘问出她是怎么消磨这一天的；我猜想，她这一番历程的目标是盘尼斯吞岩；她一路平安地到达农舍的门前，哈里顿恰巧出来，后面跟着几只狗，它们就袭击了她的行列，在它们的主人能把它们分开之前，一定是打了一场出色的仗，就这样他们互相介绍，结识了。

They had a smart battle, before their owners could separate them: that ormed an introduction.

Well," I says,"when I see the king in that doggery yesterday I says to myself, we can't get him home for hours, till he's soberer; so I went a-loafing around town to put in the time and wait.

啊，&我说，&昨晚上，我在小酒馆里见到国王的时候，我对自个儿说，在他醒过来以前，在几个钟点内，我们是无法把他弄回家的了。因此我就在镇上到处闲逛，一边消磨时间，一边等。

A posse of Dublin Metropolitan police superintended by the Chief Commissioner in person maintained order in the vast throng for whom the York street brass and reed band whiled away the intervening time by admirably rendering on their blackdraped instruments the matchless melody endeared to us from the cradle by Speranza's plaintive muse.

都柏林市警察署武装队在警察署长的亲自指挥下，在庞大的人群中维持着治安。约克街的铜管乐队和簧管乐队用缠了黑纱的乐器出色地演奏出我们从摇篮里就爱上的那支由于斯佩兰扎的哀戚歌词而最为动人的曲调。这样，使群众得以消磨一下大会开始前的这段时间。

He extracted great happiness from squelching her, and she squelched easily these days, though it had been different in the first years of their married life, before the brood of children and his incessant nagging had sapped her energy

他从驳得她声不响中得到极大的乐趣，而这些日子她却很容易就用上了啥，尽管结婚的头几年并不如此；那时她那一大群娃娃和他那没完没了的唠叨还不曾消磨尽她的锐气。

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。
