西方人

Lunch most days was a picnic in one of the bus sheds along the highway ; this was a minor economy, but also prevented becoming bored with cafe food, as well as giving a sense of self-sufficiency: in a relatively poor country, the sight of too many Westerners waited on for three meals a day was sometimes unedifying.

大多数的日子﹐中餐是在公路旁的公交车亭下野餐。这既省些小钱﹐也避免天天吃餐馆菜而生厌。同时有种自给自足的的感觉：在相对贫穷的国家，看到一大堆西方人﹐每天三餐都让人服侍﹐道德上实在有点说不过去。

When I went back to Tibet five years on, and then returned for a third trip, a few years ago, what I was seeing was not new and unfallen Tibet, of course, but the nature of change, and memory and loss.

直到1950年，到过拉萨的西方人还不足2000人，而且直到这座城市再次对游客开放之前（也就是我到那儿之前不久），也没有太多人加入这一行列。

It seemed a bizarre ceremony to uninitiated western eyes.

对未曾经验的西方人来说，这看起来像是奇异的仪式。

Nor will the fact that our actions, even ones intended to reassure China, will often unnerve it.

它并不是许多西方人想像中那个注重礼仪、和谐的"中央帝国"。

With the growing rate of unsafety products some westerners make many things themself instead of going to the market.

随着市面上伪劣产品的增多，西方人更加喜欢自己制造东西而不是去市场买。

India is a unsearchable area in Westen persons' mind.

在西方人的心目中，印度是一片神秘的土地。

So why not unveil them, I have to say that's due to the biased viewpoint of western peoples.

所以为什么不揭发他们呢，我不得不说那是因为西方人的偏见。

Scientific and medical information, the technical 'know-how' of the material world, is rooted principally in the consciousness of western man, just as in the consciousness of eastern man there is the greater sensitivity of unworldliness.

科学和医学的信息、物质世界的'知识'这个术语主要扎根于西方人的意识之中，就像在东方人的意识中对精神境界更为敏感一样。

That's what people used to do when they had something to say or things to sell.

"beat the drum"是西方人昔日的一个习俗。

This is the essential thing: that Western man has been drawn for three centuries to the task of telling everything concerning his sex; that since the classical age there has been a constant optimization and an increasing valorization of the discourse on sex; and that this carefully analytical discourse was meant to yield multiple effects of displacement, intensification, reorientation, and modification of desire itself.

这就是西方人三个世纪以来，被牵引着坦白有关于性的一切事情的真相；是古典时代以来，性话语不断优化，稳固增长的真相；而且这种经过审慎分析的话语意味着可以产生出置换，强化，重取向，以及欲望自身的变型等多重效用。

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。
