臃肿

From the day I took office, I have been told that addressing our larger challenges is too ambitious - that such efforts would be too contentious, that our political system is too gridlocked, and that we should just put things on hold for awhile.

自我上任那天，就有人告诉我，我们的更大的挑战是太过于雄心勃勃——这些努力过于争议，我们的政治制度过于臃肿，而我们应该把这些事情搁置一段时间。

Arnold Schwarzenegger's government is dysfunctional and the legislature gridlocked.

阿诺施瓦辛格掌管的政府机构臃肿低效，立法机关黑幕重重。

She was more than plump3, her thick-ankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes.

她身材臃肿，肥胖的双脚塞在一双低跟鞋里。

She was more than a little overweight, her thick-ankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes.

她体态臃肿，粗圆的脚髁上套着一双低跟鞋。

She was standing almost directly behind the girl. A woman well past forty, she had graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump, her thick-ankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes....

她就站在那个女孩的身后：一个年过四旬的中年妇女，灰白的头发裹在一顶旧帽子里，身材微胖，低跟鞋中露出臃肿的脚踝。。。。。。

She looked at Liza, racehorse-thin in purple zippered leather, shaking her head at David with naked contempt.

好吧，并不只是头发，如果把她塞进丽莎的衣服里，就会像巴尼牌的臃肿靠垫。

This year, the conference was so heavily stocked with the fatted calves of the "new" economy ——most of them dressed in the casual E-commerce outfit of khaki pants and blue oxford shirt—that controllers at Scottsdale's tiny airport struggled to accommodate all the corporate jets.

今年，个人计算机论坛上聚集了代表&新式&经济的参与者，他们个个体态臃肿，穿着临时配备有供电子商务使用的外部设备的卡其色裤子和蓝色牛津衬衫－－在苏格茨戴尔州小型机场工作的管理人员竭力安排所有的商务飞机降落在合适的停机坪。

Indeed, without such a centralized administration, the execution of any such gigantic scheme as Pan-Germanism, extending necessarily over a long series of years and requiring continuity of policy and careful preparations for eventualities known of necessity only to a few, would be utterly impossible. In England and in France, power is distributed in too many hands to make continuity of policy and vigor of administration really possible; in Russia, the country itself is too large to be directed efficiently by a single head; in Germany, the happy mean is found.

只有在集权化政府的环境下，象泛日耳曼主义（Pan-Germanism）这样宏大的蓝图的执行（它要求的时间跨度长达持续数年，要求政策的连续性和仔细的准备以使得只有必要的一小部分人才知道最终结果）才能获得最大限度的可能；在俄国，国家本身的过于臃肿使得由一个寡头来进行有效管理成为不可能；在德国，人们找到了最佳方法。

No, not the clothing kind; bulging American waistlines are the biggest threat they face.

这里的按钮可不是指衣服上的纽扣，虽说越来越臃肿的腰已经成了美国人最大的威胁本我们现在讨论的是电子设备领域里的按钮大战。

But we don't care about Battlegrounds.

但我们并不在乎沙场中的显露。

Ah! don't mention it, the butcher's shop is a horror.

啊！不用提了。提到肉，真是糟透了。
