达不到的

The Bookworm boutique at the Qwest broke all records last year selling Berkshire-related books. An amazing 3500 of these were Poor Charlie's Almanack, the collected wisdom of my partner. This means that a copy was sold every 9 seconds. And for good reason: You will never find a book with more useful ideas. Word-of-mouth recommendations have caused Charlie's first printing of 20500 copies to sell out, and we will therefore have a revised and expanded edition on sale at our meeting. Among the other 22 titles and DVDs available last year at the Bookworm, 4597 copies were sold for $84746. Our shareholders are a bookseller's dream.

去年书虫书店在会场设摊贩售Berkshire相关书籍，其数量再次打破纪录，其中光是我合伙人查理的智慧语录-可怜查理的年鉴就卖出了3500本，这意味着每隔九秒就卖出一本，这当然是有原因的，你再也找不到其他任何一本如此实用的了，光是靠着口耳相传，第一刷的20500本一下子就卖光了，使得我们赶紧在年会中推出修订二版，其它22种书目及影音光碟，总计也卖出了4597份，销售金额达84746美元，我们的股东群实在是书商们的最爱。

When he had found the brave son of Lycaon he said, Pandarus, where is now your bow, your winged arrows, and your renown as an archer, in respect of which no man here can rival you nor is there any in Lycia that can beat you?

He must be aware that the mind of Europe梩he mind of his own country梐 mind which he learns in time to be much more important than his own private mind梚s a mind which changes, and that this change is a development which abandons nothing en route,which does not superannuate either Shakespeare, or Homer, or the rock drawing of the Magdalenian draughtsmen.

他必须明了欧洲的心灵，本国的心灵----他到时候自会知道这比他自己私人的心灵更重要几倍的----是一种会变化的心灵，而这种变化是一种发展，这种发展决不会在路上抛弃什么东西，也不会把莎士比亚，荷马，或马格达钵时期的作画人的石画，都变成老朽。

The authors drolly observe that the "media mogul" test to assess competitive advantage includes such things as getting "a good table at Spago"(a chain restaurant that the authors believe is exclusive) or wangling an invitation to "Sun Valley"(a media conference held in Idaho).

这其中包括&是否能在斯帕戈获得一张位置好的餐桌&（斯帕戈是一家连锁餐厅，作者认为它是不对外开放的），或是否能拿到一张&太阳谷&的请柬（这是一个在爱达荷州举行的媒体会议）。

India's only silverback gorilla Polo has been alone since 2000 when his mate, 46-year-old Sumathi, died. Even though Polo is 183cm tall, dark-haired, bilingual and good-natured, the 36-year-old gorilla is still single after a fruitless worldwide 8-year search.

36岁的Polo是印度唯一的银背大猩猩，他身高183厘米，黑发，具备印度坎纳达语和英语双语能力，个性温和，但是自从2000年46岁的妻子Sumathi过世后一直找不到伴侣，8年遍及全球的择偶行动都徒劳无功。

For such barters are paid for in anguish that cannot be guessed, until it comes, and in ignorance rather than in courage the Eldar judge that they are made.

所以翻成这样：&因为，这样的交换会以不到来临就无法估量的痛苦为代价，而艾尔达认为做这样的决定是愚昧而非勇气。&

有关古代斯巴达税收制度的材料流传到现在的不多，因此，学者们大多对此没有给以足够的重视。

Most gambling sites operate in loosely regulated countries like Costa Rica, leaving players no real protection against dirty dealers and welched winnings.

大多数赌博网站建在法制疏松的国家如哥斯达黎加，面对搞鬼的发牌人和赖账的庄家，参赌者得不到真正的保护。

For example, almost 2.5 million people called poison centers for help in 2006. In 2004, 112,000 people died of injuries from falls, drownings, and other accidents. In 2006, search-and-rescue rangers in our national parks responded to nearly 4,000 calls, more than a third of them for people who were also sick or injured.

比如说，仅2006年一年内，就有二百五十万的人达电话到中毒中心寻求帮助，2004年，有从瀑布上边跌落或是由于溺水身亡或是其他原因死亡的人数约为十一万二千，2006年，我们国家公园内的搜救员接到将近4000个求救电话，不少于三分之一的人员是由于生病或者受伤。

Perfectly at ease in the world of artists and intellectuals her designs, which have more to do with art than style, were greatly influenced by Surrealists, such as Cocteau and Dali .

这一句我会把它译成：她的设计在艺术界和知识界颇受欢迎，它更多地是与艺术而不是与时尚相关，深受象科克托和达利这样的超现实主义者的影响。这句翻译仅供参考，因为我在词典上并没有查到at ease有&受欢迎&的意思。
