It is our policy not to lay off people because of the large fluctuations in work load produced by such voluntary volume changes. We would rather have some slack in the organization from time to time than keep everyone terribly busy writing business on which we are going to lose money. Jack Ringwalt, the founder of National Indemnity Company, instilled this underwriting discipline at the inception of the company, and Phil Liesche never has wavered in maintaining it. We believe such strong-mindedness is as rare as it is sound -and absolutely essential to therunning of a first-class casualty insurance operation.

我们不愿因为生意时好时坏而必须常常裁员，相对地，我们宁愿保持一点宽松的弹性，而不是让大家忙的要死，到头来却发现作的是亏本的生意，公司在Jack Ringwalt创办时便立下此一理念，而Phil 从未放弃保持此一优良传统，我们也认为这是经营一家一流的产险公司必备的条件。

Tall branching subshrub of California and Mexico often cultivated for its silvery-blue foliage and large fragrant white flowers.

美国加利福尼亚和墨西哥的一种高大而分枝的亚灌木，因其银蓝色叶和大而芳香的白花而常被栽培。

That your friends will be driven into exile and deprived of citizenship, or will lose their property, is tolerably certain; and you yourself, if you fly to one of the neighboring cities, as, for example, Thebes or Megara, both of which are well-governed cities, will come to them as an enemy, Socrates, and their government will be against you, and all patriotic citizens will cast an evil eye upon you as a subverter of the laws, and you will confirm in the minds of the judges the justice of their own condemnation of you.

你的朋友们会因此而被流放，剥夺公民的权利，或许他们会失去他们的财产，而这些都是肯定的。而你，如果从逃到临近的一个城市，如Thebes 或者Megara，都是治理得很好的城市，他们会把你当敌人看待，苏格拉底，他们会反对你，所有爱国的公民都会认为你是一个法律的腐蚀者，你只会使那些判你有罪的审判者们更加坚信他们判决的正确性。

Even progress, which ought to superadd, for the most part only substitutes, one partial and incomplete truth for another; improvement consisting chiefly in this, that the new fragment of truth is more wanted, more adapted to the needs of the time, than that which it displaces.

甚至在前进运动中，那本当是累加性的，大部分也只是由一个偏而不全的真理去代替另一个偏而不全的真理；而进步之处主要只在新的真理片段比它所代替的东西更见需要，更为适合于时代的需求罢了。

Penances ought to be joined with the idea of labour, not with that of idleness; with the idea of good, not with that of supereminence; with the idea of frugality, not with that of avarice.

忏悔应当与劳动的观念相结合，而不应该与闲散的观念结合；应当与良善的观念结合，而不应当与出类拔萃的观念结合；应当与节俭的观念结合，而不应当与贪婪的观念结合。良好的人性，恰当的理性，和对上帝的信仰。

The Mg-O bonds, the Raman frequencies and the number of the v〓-SO〓 band of the ion pair chain〓(n=1-4) increase with the growing of the chain, and it is well consistent with the experiments. It explains that the phenomena of gel appearance in the supersaturate solution of MgSO〓 and the blue shift of Raman spectra, as well as the phenomena of FWHH getting wider.

在〓（n=1-4）离子对链中电荷交替分布，Mg-O键长随链增长而增长，拉曼光谱频率随链增长而增高，最大强度振动波段的数目随链增长而增大，这些计算结果解释了MgSO〓过饱和溶液中出现的凝胶现象和其拉曼光谱的波段蓝移和半峰宽变宽的变化。

Men love from overlooking while women love from women supra sneakers looking up.

男人的爱是俯视而生，而女人的爱是仰视而生。

II Honest criticism and sensitive appreciation is directed not upon the poet but upon the poetry. If we attend to the confused cries of the newspaper critics and the susurrus of popular repetition thatfollows, we shall hear the names of poets in great numbers; if we seek not Blue-book knowledge but the enjoyment of poetry, and ask for a poem, we shall seldom find it.

二 诚实的批评和敏感的鉴赏，并不注意诗人而注意诗，如果我们留意到报纸批评家的乱叫和一般人应声而起的人云亦云，我们会听到很多诗人的名字；如果我们并不想得到蓝皮书的知识而想欣赏诗，却不容易找到一首诗。

It is possible for the unicarpellate condition to have been directly derived by reduction from syncarpy, and it could also be that the unicarpellate state has been derived from apocarpy by reduction in carpel number. The present results indicate that a progression has occurred in the evolution of carpels in Alismatidae from basally connate carpels through syncarpy or apocarpy to a single carpel.

本研究揭示了泽泻亚纲中不同心皮之间可能的演化过程，即从基部合生心皮向合生心皮或离生心皮方向演化，而单心皮，则很有可能是通过具多数、合生的心皮直接简化而来；同时它也有可能从具多数、离生的心皮简化而来。

After trial and sentencing, a great many punishments could be commuted for cash, depending on the severity of the offense: 1/2 tael of silver for twenty blows with the bamboo, 3 taels for sixty blows, 10 taels for one-and-a-half year's exile, 720 taels for perpetual banishment, and 1,200 taels and up for strangulation or beheading.

审判与判决之后，获判重刑者可以赎金代替刑责而获得减刑，而赎金多寡视犯罪情节轻重而定：半两白银可抵二十笞杖，三两可抵六十下笞杖，十两可抵一年半流刑，七百二十两可抵终身流放，一千两百两可抵绞刑或斩刑。

She gently rebuff ed him, but agreed that they could be friends

她婉言拒绝了，但同意作为朋友相处。

If in the penal farm, you were sure to be criticized.

要是在劳改农场，你等着挨绳子吧！
