特殊辩解

Mr Romney argued that a president's specific denomination is unimportant, so long as he has one.

罗姆尼先生辩解道，总统的特殊信仰并不重要，只要他有一个就行。

Hence, except by special pleading (e.g.,that the tetralogy was composed early in Aeschylus' career but not produced until the 460's B.C.), the Danaid tetralogy must be put after

因此，除非是通过特殊辩解（例如这样一种情形，即该四部曲作于埃斯库罗斯戏剧生涯的早期，但直到公元前五世纪六十年代始告完成），不然的话，《达那特四部曲》就必须被置于公元前468年之后。

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.

交际能力和语法的关系应该是目标与途径的关系。
