渺小的

Al Qaeda "has only a handful of individuals capable of planning, organizing and leading a terrorist operation," Carle notes, and "its capabilities are far inferior to its desires."

他说："我们要将伊斯兰好战分子看作渺小的，有害的，互相脱离的，令人不快的人"；基地组织"只有一把能够计划组织和领导恐怖袭击活动的个人" Carle 还特别强调说，"而且他们的能力和我们预想的相距甚远"。

It has the poorest millionaires, the little great men, the haughtiest beggars, the plainest beauties, the lowest skyscrapers, and the dolefulness pleasures of any town I ever saw.

在这座城市里有的是心灵最空虚的百万富翁，人格最渺小的伟人，最高傲的乞丐，最丑陋的，最低级龌龊的摩天大楼和最令人悲哀的娱乐，比我所见到的任何城市都有过之而无不及。

Little as you may know of Him, it is more than enough to keep you low and humbled.......God, by our Infirmity and weakness, keeps us in continual dependence upon Him for teachings and revelation of Himself from His Word ......Let us, then, discerning once more the awful distance between the inconceivably great God and our own smallness, fill our soul with a holy and awesome fear of Him.

然而，即使对神了解如此之少，也足够让我们自抑与谦卑了……神透过人的软弱，使人不断地依靠他，寻求他的教导和圣经中所启示的他自己……让我们再一次看到伟大的神和渺小的我们之间莫大的差别，让我们灵魂深处充满对神圣洁的敬畏吧。

There was only one thing to do. Back up the mountain they trudged,searching mossy hummocks for onr tiny shoe.

Pierre has become Count Bezuhov and owner of one of the largest fortunes in Russia, I am much amused to observe the change in the tone and the manners of mammas burdened with marriageable daughters and of those young ladies themselves, towards that individual― who I may say in passing has always seemed to me a poor creature.

附带说一句，我总觉得皮埃尔是个十分渺小的人。因为这两个年头大家都在给我物色未婚夫，认为这是开心的事儿（对象多半是我不认识的人），所以莫斯科婚姻大事记，要使我成为叫做别祖霍娃的伯爵夫人。

Even the smallest islands have a story to tell, the remotest inhabited island in the world is Tristan da Cunha, which is in the South Atlantic Ocean.

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。

The relationship between communicative competence and grammar teaching should be that of the ends and the means.
