精明的人

However, if one designs to construct a dwelling-house, it behooves him to exercise a little Yankee shrewdness, lest after all he find himself in a workhouse, a labyrinth without a clue, a museum, an almshouse, a prison, or a splendid mausoleum instead.

然而，如果有人要打图样造一所住宅，他应该像我们新英格兰人那样的稍为精明一点才好，免得将来他会发现他自己是在一座工场中，或在一座没有出路的迷宫中，或在一所博物院中，或在一所救贫院中，或在一个监狱中，或在一座华丽的陵墓中。

让人惊讶的是，这个节目刻画的阴冷潮湿的房间、精明油滑的房东和不听使唤的水管子，仍然能让三十几岁的人眼泪汪汪地回忆起过去。现在，他们能痛痛快快地放弃跟家人在意大利托斯卡纳度年假的机会、去跟朋友们共用一间浴室。

Mr Thaksin was particularly hated by urban Thais because of his open-handed courting of the rural vote, using debt-forgiveness and expensive subsidies for health care and rural development. To many, this was "vote-buying", though it never really went further than canny populism. He had won a thumping election victory in 2001 on the back of such promises. He won again in 2005, and would presumably have won a third time, in the snap election he called in April 2006, had the opposition not boycotted the poll, in effect invalidating the vote.

由于他信先生对农村选民的慷慨好施，比如对农民减免债务，提供昂贵的医疗补贴和发展农村，从而招致泰国中产阶级的特别怨恨，尽管比起精明谨慎的民粹分子来说，这次还从未真正的更深入行动，但对许多人来说，这已是在"买选票"。2001年通过这样的许诺他信压倒性的赢得的了大选。2005年再次当选，并预计赢得第三次大选，而2006年4月这次他呼吁的匆忙中的大选遭到反对派的联合抵制，事实上导致大选无效。

The more sedate and older sections of the South looked down their noses at the up-country Georgians, but here in north Georgia, a lack of the niceties of classical education carried no shame, provided a man was smart in the things that mattered.
