荒谬的

Here's a mouth-frother, here's a bigot, here's a stiff-necked buffoon who, in one ranting article, shows all that is wrong, footling and absurd about modern China.

这个满嘴废话的家伙，这个偏执狂。这个傲慢的小丑，在一篇咆哮的文章里，表现了关于现代中国的一切缪误，愚蠢和荒谬。

You're quietly telling yourself that today's understanding of ourselves and the world so outstrips our ancestors that, compared with contemporary wisdom, their ancient views are laughably naive, even absurd.

你不知不觉地告诉自己，今天我们对于我们自己和对于世界的理解是如此超越我们的先辈，以至于与当代的智慧相比，古人的观点天真得可笑，甚至近乎荒谬。

The title character, with a name that recalls the famous telescope, is a quester after knowledge, a visionary in a world sublime and ridiculous.

与小说同名人物名取自一架著名的望远镜，他是一名知识的渴慕者、是壮丽宏伟与荒谬可笑并存的世界上的空想家。

The omission of a bill of rights providing clearly and without the aid of sophisms for freedom of religion, freedom of the press, protection against standing armies, restriction against monopolies, the eternal and unremitting force of the habeas corpus laws, and trials by jury in all matters of fact triable by the laws of the land and not by the law of nations.

它应不需任何荒谬借口，明确保护宗教自由，出版自由，保护个人免受国家常设军队的侵害，限制垄断，永恒而不可动摇的严禁对个人的任何非法侵害，确立个人享有受陪审团审判的权利，而是否受到审判则应由国内法而非国际法来确定。

His continent-hopping schedule, with 130-plus concerts a year, is ridiculous, and over dinner his Spanish manager chides him by saying he will be "the richest pianist in the cemetery".

他穿梭与各大洲的忙碌的日程表里包括了一年130多场演奏会，这甚至让人觉得有点儿荒谬，在吃晚饭的时候，他的西班牙经济人责备他说他会是&坟墓里最富有的钢琴家&。

Real change will require action by governments, in the form of a global carbon tax; reform of the world trade system; and the abolition of agricultural tariffs and subsidies, notably Europe's monstrous common agricultural policy, which coddles rich farmers and prices those in the poor world out of the European market.

要想有真正意义上的变化还得靠政府采取行动，全球对排放温室气体征税，改革现行贸易体制，取消农业税和补贴，尤其是欧洲荒谬而又普遍的农业政策，对本地区的富裕农民无微不至的保护，却拉高穷国的产品价格导致他们在欧洲市场上没了销路。

This sounds absurd, but we can use the process of making specimens as an analogy. The maker constantly adds materials onto a bird's skeleton and feathery exterior, filling in the gaps so that the three dimensionality of the form fleshes out and becomes evident. We can also understand Luo Quanmu as such a maker: painting is a process of filling in the gaps using a personal language that informs a unique aesthetic form.

这听起来有些荒谬，但是，我们可以用标本制作的过程来做一个比方，制作者往往在禽鸟的骨架和皮毛之间填充某些材料，以便重现和凸显其在空间中的立体形象，我们也不妨将罗荃木视为这样一个制作者，绘画即以一种个人语言进行填充的过程，由此对象重获一个独立的美感形象。

But you are choosing the easier part, as I think, not the better and manlier, which would rather have become one who professes virtue in all his actions, like yourself.

After some 300 protestors organized by a Chicago women's group picketed the Playboy mansion in 1970, a female secretary leaked to the press a memo that underscored Hef's antipathy toward "militant feminists": What I'm interested in is the highly irrational, emotional, kookie trend that feminism has taken...these chicks are our natural enemy.

一位女部长向媒体透露了一项书面申明，旨在强调对 Hefner 关于&激进的女权主义者&言论的愤慨。我所感兴趣的是这种非常荒谬，情绪化，囧到不行的趋势——女权主义已经。。。。这些小妞是我们的天敌。
