钉子

On the same day that Fiske issued his report, I drove another nail in my own coffin by signing the new independent counsel law.

在菲斯克公布调查报告的同一天，我签署了新的独立检察官法案，在我自己的棺材上又钉进了一颗钉子。

Its use is various also, especially in the industry efficiency of the room's fitment, its importance is very large.

钉子在日常生活中很常见，种类繁多，尺寸不一；它的用途也是多种多样的，特别是在室内装修业方面，它的重要性就更大了。

Flanagan nails are built that house ten years ago, when the nail.

那根钉子是十年前盖那房子的时候钉的。

A short, light nail with a sharp point and a flat head.

大头钉：带有一个尖头和一个扁平顶端的短而轻的钉子

Indeed, they often act as a linguistic fossil record, preserving objects and behaviour that have long since fallen into petrified obsolescence. Industrious sorts no longer burn the midnight oil. Flashes in the pan are common even if the flintlock muskets that gave rise to them are museum pieces. Colours are still nailed to masts, metal though they now usually are.

勤奋的人们不再是"焚膏"以继晷；"火药池中瞬间闪现的火光（ flashes in the pan ，比喻显耀一时却终归失败或昙花一现）"现在也很常见［译注：暗示现在这个成语已不再适合比喻昙花一现了］，即使造就它的燧发枪已经躺在了博物馆里；要想"公开表明立场（ nail one's colours to the mast ）"还得把钉子钉在桅杆上，尽管现在的桅杆大都是金属的了。

And like all Fluke tools, it's rugged, reliable and tough as nails.

像所有的福禄克工具，它的坚固，可靠和强硬的钉子。

I got on Board the Ship, as before, and prepar'd a second Raft, and having had Experience of the first, I neither made this so unwieldy, nor loaded it so hard, but yet I brought away several Things very useful to me; as first, in the Carpenter's Stores I found two or three Bags full of Nails and Spikes, a great Skrew-Jack, a Dozen or two of Hatchets, and above all, that most useful Thing call'd a Grindstone; all these I secur'd together, with several Things belonging to the Gunner, particularly two or three Iron Crows, and two Barrels of Musquet Bullets, seven Musquets, and another fowling Piece, with some small Quantity of Powder more; a large Bag full of small Shot, and a great Roll of Sheet Lead: But this last was so heavy, I could not hoise it up to get it over the Ship's Side.

我像前次那样上了船，并又做了一个木排。有了上次的经验，我不再把木排做得像第一个那么笨重了，也不再装那么多货物了，但还是运回了许多有用的东西。首先，我在木匠舱房里找到了三袋钉子和螺丝钉，一把大钳子，二十来把小斧，尤其有用的是一个磨刀砂轮。我把这些东西都安放在一起，再拿了一些炮手用的物品，特别是两三只起货用的铁钩，两桶枪弹，七支短枪、一支鸟枪，还有一小堆火药，一大袋小子弹，还有一大卷铅皮。可铅皮太重，我无法把它从船上吊到木排上。
