灾祸

Such dispositions, are the very errors of human nature; and yet they are the fittest timber, to make great politics of; like to knee timber, that is good for ships, that are ordained to be tossed; but not for building houses, that shall stand firm.

有一种人专靠落井下石，给别人制造灾祸来谋生--他们简直还不如《圣经》里那条以舔疮为生的恶狗，而更像那种吸吮死尸汁液的苍蝇。

Perhaps he will again relent and leave behind him a blessing, Offerings and libations for the LORD, your God.

有谁知道，也许他会转意后悔，在这场灾祸后，给你们留下祝福，好使你们能给上主你们的天主献上素祭和奠祭。

But we will surely do everything which has gone out of our mouth, burning incense to the queen of heaven and pouring out libations to her, just as we ourselves and our fathers, our kings, and our princes did in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; for we had plenty of food and were well off and did not see evil.

44：17 我们定要成就我们口中所出的一切话，向天后烧香、浇奠祭，按我们与我们列祖、君王、首领，在犹大的城邑中和耶路撒冷的街道上，素常所行的一样；因为那时我们吃饱饭，享福乐，并不见灾祸。

There are two methods of curing the mischiefs of faction: the one, by removing its causes; the other, by controlling its effects.

有两种治疗党争的灾祸的方法，一种是去除其原因，一种是控制其结果。

They are, however, more powerful, freed from human miseries and mishaps and they live endless lifes.

然而，他们的力量更加强大，不受人类的痛苦和灾祸所影响，他们的寿命也无穷无尽。

There are numerous challenges over the next three hundred years to keep the collective upwellings from being cataclysmic or catastrophic.

未来三百年有无数的挑战使得集体涌出的问题不至成为灾祸或者浩劫。

When war demanded his attention, his spear was not wreathed with ivy, nor his helmet redolent of unguents; he did not come out to battle from the women's chamber, but, hushing the bacchanal shouts and putting an end to the orgies, he became at once, as Euripides calls it,"the minister of the unpriestly Mars;" and, in short, he never once incurred disaster through indolence or self-indulgence.

然而一旦放下酒杯、推开女人，他立刻就神勇无比，正如欧里庇德斯的诗句&the minister of the unpriestly Mars&，总之就是德米特里从来也没有因为纵情声色而招致灾祸。

The first shot I made among these creatures, I killed a she-goat,which had a little kid by her, which she gave suck to, whichgrieved me heartily; for when the old one fell, the kid stood stockstill by her, till I came and took her up; and not only so, butwhen I carried the old one with me, upon my shoulders, the kidfollowed me quite to my enclosure; upon which I laid down the dam,and took the kid in my arms, and carried it over my pale, in hopesto have bred it up tame; but it would not eat; so I was forced tokill it and eat it myself.

十二月十日我本以为挖洞的工程已大功告成，可突然发生了塌方。也许我把洞挖得太大了，大量的泥土从顶上和一旁的岩壁上塌下来，落下的泥土之多，简直把我吓坏了。我这般惊恐，当然不是没有理由的。要是塌方时我正在洞内，那我肯定用不着掘墓人了。这次灾祸一发生，我又有许多工作要做了。

The shrewd man perceives evil and hides; simpletons continue on and suffer the penalty.

精明人遇见灾祸，即行隐避；无知者反向前走，自招损害。

December 10th, I began now to think my Cave or Vault finished, when on a Sudden,(it seems I had made it too large) a great Quantity of Earth fell down from the Top and one Side, so much, that in short it frighted me, and not without Reason too; for if I had been under it I had never wanted a Grave-Digger: Upon this Disaster I had a great deal of Work to do over again; for I had the loose Earth to carry out; and which was of more Importance, I had the Seiling to prop up, so that I might be sure no more would come down.

十二月十日我本以为挖洞的工程已大功告成，可突然发生了塌方。也许我把洞挖得太大了，大量的泥土从顶上和一旁的岩壁上塌下来，落下的泥土之多，简直把我吓坏了。我这般惊恐，当然不是没有理由的。要是塌方时我正在洞内，那我肯定用不着掘墓人了。这次灾祸一发生，我又有许多工作要做了。我不但要把落下来的松土运出去，还安装了天花板，下面用柱子支撑起来，免得再出现塌方的灾难。

In the negative and interrogative forms, of course, this is identical to the non-emphatic forms.

。但是，在否定句或疑问句里，这种带有"do"的方法表达的效果却没有什么强调的意思。

Go down on one's knees;kneel down
