苦思冥想

Such brooding didn't make him any saner .

然而，苦思冥想并没有使他头脑清醒。

It is to be suspected that the author who holds his elements apart is not using his imagination, but using a formula, like a scientist gests far too much strain and tension.

我以为歌朝这个方向滑得并不太远。这是现代派小说家苦思冥想切断意识流，并且表现原本无法成为一个整体的情节时所犯的同类错误。

During all this Time, I was in the murthering Humour; and took up most of my Hours, which should have been better employ'd, in contriving how to circumvent, and fall upon them, the very next Time I should see them; especially if they should be divided, as they were the last Time, into two Parties; nor did I consider at all, that if I kill'd one Party, suppose Ten, or a Dozen, I was still the next Day, or Week, or Month, to kill another, and so another, even ad infinitum, till I should be at length no less a Murtherer than they were in being Man-eaters; and perhaps much more so.

这段时间里，我只是一心想杀这些野人。大部分时间我不干别的，只是苦思冥想杀人的计划。我设想种种计谋，下次再看到他们时该怎样向他们进攻，尤其是要提防他们像上次那样，分成两股前来。但我完全没有考虑到，即使我把他们一股通通杀光，比如说，杀掉十个或十二个，到第二天，或第二个星期，或第二个月，我还得再杀掉他们另一股。这样一股一股杀下去，永无止境，我自己最后岂不也成了杀人凶手，而且，比那些食人生番也许更残暴！

Actually, I have wracked my mind and heart for what I ought to say to you today.

事实上，我为今天应该给你们讲什么好，已经苦思冥想、绞尽脑汁。

Actually, I have wracked my mind and heart for what I ought to say to you today.

Long enough, in other words, for sceptics to wonder when something useful will actually come of it.

换句话说，当一些有用之物能在纳米的领域内进行操作时，这足以让怀疑论者苦思冥想一阵了。

His intention is even more splurge. I rack my brains and has a bee in my head to write these diaries. To a great extent, my intention is splurge too.

我挖空心思、苦思冥想的写这些日志，很大程度也是炫耀，炫耀自己的文采，炫耀自己的人格，期待别人给自己喝彩。

These Thoughts took me up many Hours, Days; nay, I may say, Weeks and Months; and one particular Effect of my Cogitations on this Occasion, I cannot omit, viz.

我就这样苦思冥想，花去了许多小时，许多天，甚至许多星期，许多个月。思考的结果，在当时对我产生了一种特殊的影响，不能不在这里提一下。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
