老朽的

America is a strong man and China a growing teenager, said one at a 2008 conference in Stockholm; Europe is a "rich old guy", heading for his dotage.

在2008年斯德哥尔摩举行的一次会议上，一种说法认为，美国是一个强壮的男人，中国是一个成长中的青年，而欧洲则是一个"有钱的老家伙"，正在老朽。

The American has dwindled into an Odd Fellow (14)—one who may be known by the development of his organ of gregariousness, and a manifest lack of intellect and cheerful self-reliance; whose first and chief concern, on coming into the world, is to see that the almshouses are in good repair; and, before yet he has lawfully donned the virile garb, to collect a fund for the support of the widows and orphans that may be; who, in short ventures to live only by the aid of the Mutual Insurance company, which has promised to bury him decently.

美国已经老朽——这可以通过他的群居组织的发展看到，同时他还缺乏智力和令人愉快的自我依赖；政府诞生后，首要关心的，就是保证救济院修葺良好，在还没有合法地穿上堂皇的制服时，就在为可能出现的孤儿寡母募集资金；总之，政府就是冒险地依靠互助保险公司帮助而存在，后者许诺会体面地将他埋葬。

He must be aware that the mind of Europe梩he mind of his own country梐 mind which he learns in time to be much more important than his own private mind梚s a mind which changes, and that this change is a development which abandons nothing en route,which does not superannuate either Shakespeare, or Homer, or the rock drawing of the Magdalenian draughtsmen.

他必须明了欧洲的心灵，本国的心灵----他到时候自会知道这比他自己私人的心灵更重要几倍的----是一种会变化的心灵，而这种变化是一种发展，这种发展决不会在路上抛弃什么东西，也不会把莎士比亚，荷马，或马格达钵时期的作画人的石画，都变成老朽。

He could never be called an old Moustache Pete and he had the confidence of the newer, younger, brasher leaders on their way up.

他绝不应称之为老朽：他深受新冒出来的比较年轻、比较活跃、正蒸蒸日上的领袖人物的信任。

But the Don wasn't treating him right. The "Great Don," he thought with scorn. An old Moustache Pete who'd been caught out on the street by gunmen like any dumb small-time hood.

但是，老头子并没有那么器重他，什么"伟大的老头子"，他在内心轻蔑他说，一个老朽像个默默无闻的小流氓给刺客在大街上击中了。

In those white-skinned decrepit are already Padaoshanding time, waiting for their only down the road, but climbing is not half of the Young China, raised his head, the front is a long-hoped-300 years of utterly scenery.

在那些白皮肤的老朽们已经爬到山顶的时候，等待着他们的只有下山的路，而攀爬未半的少年中国，抬起头，前方是久违300年的绝顶风景。

These are the ones whose revolutions did not come off; they have been able to keep on cheerfully plotting their holocausts right into their senescence.

这部分人是那些自己的革命未能实现的人，他们可以继续不断地快活地策划他们的大屠杀，直到他们老朽期来临。

As she looked at Warrington's manly face, and dark, melancholy eyes, she had settled in her mind that he must have been the victim of an unhappy attachment.

每逢看到沃林顿那刚毅的脸，那乌黑、忧郁的眼睛，她便会相信，他一定作过不幸的爱情的受害者。

Maybe they'll disappear into a pothole.

也许他们将在壶穴里消失
