过了一段时间

Blow hot and cold to be interested in something at one moment and not interested in it at another moment.

对某事物一会非常感兴趣，但过段时间后又完全不感兴趣了；也即摇摆不定、犹犹豫豫等。绝似中文的"忽冷忽热"。

Mr Dodd may have little more than a month to get a deal before attention turns elsewhere.

多德先生只有一个多月的时间来和共和党达成协议，过了这一段，他的精力肯定会转向别处。

Somewhere on the fringe of this unlovely town lay the ruined caravan-city of Merv, lodestar of the Silk Road for two thousand years, and capital of the gifted and tragic Seljuk Turks: a rich city, sometimes cultivated and benignly powerful, which had nurtured its heterogeneous citizens in a common passion for trade.

在这个丑陋的城镇边缘的某个地方，坐落着已沦为废墟的驿站城市——莫夫城，它作为丝绸之路的一颗明珠已有2000年的历史了，而且是拥有天赋、命运悲惨的塞尔柱突厥人的都城：一座富裕的城市，在某段时间里曾拥有过文明并且恃强而不凌弱，城中生活着对贸易有着同样激情的各族居民。

The lake comes to your eyes after walking short from the ticket box. It's enough to spend about 1 hour here. Some people hike around the lake but we don't have more details about it.

到达售票处向里走很短的一段路就可以看到湖面了，如果只是简单的看看，则不需要太多的时间，大约1小时足够，但是据说有游人环湖徒步过，不过这里没有更加详细的资料介绍。

It was not till almost a year after this that I broke loose, though in the mean time I continued obstinately deaf to all proposals of settling to business, and frequently expostulating with my father and mother, about their being so positively determined against what they knew my inclinations prompted me to.

这事过了几乎一年，我才离家出走，跟家里一刀两断；尽管在这段讨厌的时间里，我仍然一直顽固不化，充耳不闻一切关于参加工作的建议，并且常常与父母磨嘴皮，要他们不要那样积极、那样坚决地反对我的宿愿。

Life as a Chelsea fan before Roman Abramovich was not very rosy but at least bearable and even though we were considered as flashy, southern softies, with largely old and overpaid European players at the end of their careers looking for a pension fund; we were not hated with such vehemence and vigour.

阿布来之前的日子对于切尔西的球迷来说也不是一段甜美的时间，但那是可以忍耐的。尽管wo们被以为是来自南边浮夸的傻子，总是使用一些昂贵而过气了的欧洲球员，至少wo们没有像今天这样被如此剧烈的鞭挞。

I'd never been to a major championship before that, but it opened my eyes and I'll definitely be bit more aware about what's in store this time.

在那之前我从来没有参加过一项重要的赛事，但是它让我大开眼界，我更清楚地知道这段时间我们储备了些什么。

And after a long time the rough rocks were decked out with soft mosses and trailing vines, and all the nooks were hung with clematis and columbine, and great elms lifted their huge tops high up into the sunlight, and down about their feet clustered the low cedars and balsams, and everywhere the violets and wind-flower and maiden-hair grew and bloomed, till the canyon became the Master's favorite place for rest and peace and joy.

过了很长一段的时间之后，粗糙的岩石上，铺满了柔软的青苔和绵延的藤蔓，各处角落，都垂挂着铁线莲和缕斗菜，硕壮的榆树，仰起粗大枝干，升向高空的阳光，树根附近盘屈着矮杉和凤仙花，到处都有紫罗兰，白头翁和孔雀草在生长开花，峡谷终于成了主人所寻求的安息，平安和快乐的心爱之地了。

As she looked at Warrington's manly face, and dark, melancholy eyes, she had settled in her mind that he must have been the victim of an unhappy attachment.

每逢看到沃林顿那刚毅的脸，那乌黑、忧郁的眼睛，她便会相信，他一定作过不幸的爱情的受害者。

Maybe they'll disappear into a pothole.

也许他们将在壶穴里消失
