起初

The entrance of the original project of Maxentius was to the east, from a branch of the old Via Sacra behind the Temple of Amor and Roma.

墙是嵌砖式混凝土墙，起初也用大理石薄片镶饰。

The toy in question was the Large Hadron Collider, and it was going to find all sorts of wonderful things, ranging from the Higgs boson (which is needed to explain why mass exists in the first place) via dark matter (which is needed to explain why the universe is as massive as it is) to miniature black holes the densest concentrations of mass possible, which journalists of a more scaremongering disposition confidently predicted would eat the Earth up as soon as the machine was switched on

被大家津津乐道的新玩意是大型强子对撞机，它将揭示各种奇妙的事情，从通过暗物质（解释宇宙为什么如此浩瀚）寻找希格斯玻色子（是用来解释质量起初存在的原因）到寻找小型黑洞（可能的最密集质量的聚集物，一些危言耸听的记者信誓旦旦地散布谣言一旦大型机开启，地球将迅速被吞没）。

Alongside these activities, Steve presente regular clinics in music stores and is one of the most active figures in harmonica education in Europe. In 2000 he gave the first ever course for harmonica at the renowned Schorndorf Guitar Days. Despite the initial scepsis of the organisers, his class was rapidly booked out and the harmonica course has subsequently become an essential part of the event.

由于以上活动的关系，Steve出席了一些音乐商场的讨论会，他也是欧洲口琴教育中最活跃的人之一。2000年他在有名的活动Schorndoff Guitar Days中进行了有关口琴的第一次讲课，尽管组织者起初有一些怀疑，但他课程的座位很快就被人预定了。

To begin with, I was sceptical, but I was soon convinced.

起初我持怀疑态度，但很快就相信了。

At first this was received sceptically, but things started to change later that year after the company's impressive response to Hurricane Katrina, during which it delivered necessities to residents of New Orleans far more effectively than the government did.

起初，这受到了普遍的怀疑，但是事情在美国遭受卡特里娜飓风之后发生了变化，沃尔玛当时采取了积极的深入人心的应对措施，向新奥尔良灾民提供了必需品，其行动比政府更快速有效。

At first, he said, he hid his enrollment in scrubbing school from family and friends, though he told his wife.

"Initially, that is surprising," says Sara Seager of MIT in Cambridge, US, who was not involved in the study.

美国剑桥麻省理工学院的萨拉·西格没有参与这项研究，但她说：我起初觉得，这个发现非常令人惊讶。

And he said, Espagniole; and being a little recover'd, let me know by all the Signs he could possibly make, how much he was in my Debt for his Deliverance; Seignior, said I, with as much Spanish as I could make up, we will talk afterwards; but we must fight now; if you have any Strength left, take this Pistol, and Sword, and lay about you; he took them very thankfully, and no sooner had he the Arms in his Hands, but as if they had put new Vigour into him, he flew upon his Murtherers, like a Fury, and had cut two of them in Pieces, in an instant; for the Truth is, as the whole was a Surprize to them; so the poor Creatures were so much frighted with the Noise of our Pieces, that they fell down for meer Amazement, and Fear; and had no more Power to attempt their own Escape, than their Flesh had to resist our Shot; and that was the Case of those Five that Friday shot at in the Boat; for as three of them fell with the Hurt they receiv'd, so the other two fell with the Fright.

我一路向那可怜的俘虏跑去。前面已经说过，那可怜的有胡子的人这时正躺在野人们所坐的地方和大海之间的沙滩上。那两个正要动手杀他的屠夫，在我们放头一枪时，早已吓得魂不附体。他们丢开了俘虏，拼命向海边跑去，跳上了一只独木船。这时，那群野人中也有三个向同一方面逃跑。我回头吩咐星期五，要他追过去向他们开火。他立即明白了我的意思。向前跑了约四十码，跑到离他们较近的地方，就向那批野人开枪。起初我以为他把他们通通打死了，因为我看到他们一下子都倒在船里了。可是不久我又看到他们中有两个人很快又坐起来。尽管这样，他也打死了两个，打伤了一个；那个受伤的倒在船舱里，仿佛死了一般。

Thus, the beginning entity is one in all innocence oriented towards animalistic behavior using other-selves only as extensions of self for the preservation of the all-self.

因此，起初的实体具有完全的天真无邪，倾向动物性的行为，看待其他-自我就如同自我的延伸，用以保存全体-自我。

The self-confessed BMW fanatic admits that at first he was not particularly impressed by the Panamera's looks.

自我供认宝马痴迷者承认，起初他并没有特别深刻的印象Panamera的期待。

She gently rebuff ed him, but agreed that they could be friends

她婉言拒绝了，但同意作为朋友相处。

If in the penal farm, you were sure to be criticized.

要是在劳改农场，你等着挨绳子吧！
