蛀虫

E.g. Corrupt officials are often referred to as the most dangerous borers in our government bodies, who are nibbling away the healthy organism of our party by dishonest means.

例：腐败官僚常常被视为我们政府机构中最危险的蛀虫，他们行为不轨，蚕噬着我们党的健康肌体。

However, some egotists, or termites that consume decayed wood, seized this chance and profited from the predictive aspect of Yi Jing .

可是一些自以为是，或者腐木而食的蛀虫，却抓住这个机会，利用易经的预知牟取私利。

The worms have already eaten off some papes of this old book.

这本古书有几页被蛀虫咬坏了。

And submerge this whole rat-infested place.

最后让这个爬满蛀虫的地方沉入海底吧。

Fuck this whole city and everyone in it,from the row houses of Astoria to the penthouses on Park Avenue,from the projects in the Bronx to the lofts in Soho,from the tenements in Alphabet City to the brownstones in Park Slope to the split-levels in Staten Island,let an earthquake crumble it, let the fires rage,let it burn to fucking ash, and then let the waters rise and submerge this whole rat-infested place.

X他妈的这个城市，还有里面所有的人，从阿斯托瑞亚区的排房到艾维纽公园的露天房，从布朗克斯的工地到索霍区的阁楼，从黑城的住宅到斯罗坡公园的高级建筑，到史泰登岛的层叠建筑，让地震粉碎他们吧，让烈火在那里蔓延吧，把它烧成灰烬，然后让海平面升高，最后让这个爬满蛀虫的地方沉入海底吧。

We have no common name for a mime of Sophron or Xenarchus and a Socratic Conversation; and we should still be without one even if the imitation in the two instances were in trimeters or elegiacs or some other kind of verse--though it is the way with people to tack on 'poet' to the name of a metre, and talk of elegiac-poets and epic-poets, thinking that they call them poets not by reason of the imitative nature of their work, but indiscriminately by reason of the metre they write in.

索夫农 、森那库斯和苏格拉底式的对话采用的模仿没有一个公共的名称；三音步诗、挽歌体或其他类型的诗的模仿也没有——人们把&诗人&这一名词和格律名称结合到一起，称之为挽歌体诗人或者史诗诗人，他们被称为诗人，似乎只是因为遵守格律写作，而非他们作品的模仿本质。

The relationship between communicative competence and grammar teaching should be that of the ends and the means.

交际能力和语法的关系应该是目标与途径的关系。
