矗立

The great Christmas tree has already been standing in front of the Rathaus in Vienna for quite a while. In many places, the Christmas lights were hung out weeks ago. The refreshment stands did not wait for the First Sunday in Advent, either.

诺大的圣诞树已经在维也纳市政大厅前矗立了好一阵子，不少地方的圣诞灯已经点亮几个星期了，就连热饮的摊位也没有等到将临期就现身了。

It stands in front of the church of Sant' Agnese in Agone (begun in 1652), which was designed by Italian baroque architect Francesco Borromini.

它矗立在圣Agone的教堂之前(从 1652 年开始)的 Agnese，被义大利巴洛克风格的建筑师Francesco Borromini设计。

He is motionless, just like the door that stood ajar a moment ago.

他坐在那里一动不动，就像刚才那扇半敞着矗立的门。

Now there is a certain town, Thryoessa, perched upon a rock on the river Alpheus, the border city Pylus; this they would destroy, and pitched their camp about it, but when they had crossed their whole plain, Minerva darted down by night from Olympus and bade us set ourselves in array; and she found willing soldiers in Pylos, for the men meant fighting.

多沙的 普洛斯境内有一座城堡，斯罗厄萨，矗立在陡峭的山岩，远离阿菲俄斯河，地处边睡。他们包围了这座石城，急不可待地试图攻破。然而，当他们扫过整个平原，雅典娜冲破夜色，向我们跑来，来自俄林波斯的使者，召呼我们武装备战。在普洛斯，他所招聚的不是一支行动迟滞缓慢的军队，而是一帮求战心切的兵勇。

More than 200 national and other pavilions will straddle the city's Huangpu River, turning a two-square-mile site into an architectural playground: Switzerland will be represented by a building shaped like a map of that country, complete with a rooftop chairlift, while England is in the celebrated hands of the designer Thomas Heatherwick, who is fashioning what looks like a big, hairy marshmallow. Other attention grabbers include Macao, taking the form of a walk-through bunny, and the United Arab Emirates, which hired Foster + Partners to build a "sand dune."

从5月1日至10月31日期间，上海黄浦江两岸将矗立起200多个国家和地区的展馆，届时游客将可在2平方英里的展区内欣赏各式建筑：瑞士馆的外观似其国家地图，馆内设有屋顶观光缆车；英国馆的设计出自著名设计师托马斯，外观时尚，貌似一株巨型、粗壮的蘑菇；同样吸引眼球的还有澳门馆"玉兔宫灯"外形、由世界闻名的建筑公司福斯特伙伴公司（Foster + Partners）设计的阿联酋馆"天然沙丘"造型。

Hence we might speak, among men, of a true Bible complex: Babel was supposed to serve to communicate with God, and yet Bible is a dream which touches much greater depths than that of the theological project; and just as this great ascensional dream, released from its utilitarian prop, is finally what remains in the countless Bibles represented by the painters, as if the function of art were to reveal the profound uselessness of objects, just so the Tower, almost immediately disengaged from the scientific considerations which had authorized its birth (it matters very little here that the Tower should be in fact useful), has arisen from a great human dream in which movable and infinite meanings are mingled: it has reconquered the basic uselessness which makes it live in men's imagination.

因此我们会在人群中诉说一个真正的圣经情结：圣经是连接上帝的纽带，然而"圣经"也是一个可以触及灵魂深处的梦想，绝不仅仅是神学上的宗教工作项目而已。正是这个古老而神圣的梦想，正是这个摆脱了所谓技术支撑的梦想，最终产生了无数的描绘圣经的经典作品，似乎艺术的功用就是去揭示一些深奥但却无用的事物。就像这艾菲尔铁塔，几乎立刻就脱离了那些能使她得以存在的科学性考虑（就是铁塔必须具备实用性这一事实），她就从人类无限变幻的梦想中呱呱坠地：艾菲尔铁塔体现了一种信念，这种没有任何实用性的信念就是要让艾菲尔铁塔永远矗立在人类的想像空间中。

A glimpse at the vice-regal residence reveals a certain Byronic romanticism. It is battlemented, with sham turrets, massive chimney-stacks, and a good deal of carved stone.

瞥一眼有着佯装炮楼的城垛上矗立着高大的烟囱和许多石雕的总督官邸不难看见它所透露的拜伦风格的浪漫主义精神。

On the opposite side of the lake stood a splendid , brightly-lit castle, from whence resounded the joyous music of trumpets and kettle-drums.

湖泊的对岸，矗立着一座美丽的宫殿，宫殿里灯火辉煌，从里面还传来了愉快的音乐，有管声和号声，还有喇叭声。

The casements are still there today—they will be there for decades if not centuries, so well built were they—and they bear mute testimony to the steadfastness of the Germans.

今天，筑垒依然矗立在诺曼底——因其建造精良，还会矗立几十年，如果不是几个世纪的话——它们无声地证明着德国人的坚定意志。

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。
