错误想法

And if you will only promise to treat me _en bon camarade_, without reference to the conventionalities of 'ladies and gentlemen,' taking no thought for your sentences, nor for your blots, nor for your blunt speaking, nor for your badd speling, and if you agree to send me a blotted thought whenever you are in the mind for it, and with as little ceremony and less legibility than you would think it necessary to employ towards your printer--why, _then_, I am ready to sign and seal the contract, and to rejoice in being 'articled' as your correspondent.

如果您能承诺对待我_en bon comarade _，不带有那些"女士们先生们"的陈词滥调，不要顾及您的句子，不要顾念您的涂改，不要担心您的直言不讳，或者您的拼写错误，如果您承诺一旦您有了想法便把这断断续续的想法递送给我，而不要任何的客套或者整理，虽然也许您认为有必要但其实没有必要——那么，我便准备好与您签署这样的协议，欣喜地成为您"受雇"的笔友。

If you would attain that Truth, if you would become perfect in the knowledge of that Truth, you must go through this process of renunciation, setting aside those things which have no value, putting aside your little knowledge in order to acquire greater knowledge, putting aside your little wisdom in order to acquire greater wisdom; and so when you reach the abode where there is no cloud of doubt, of misjudgement, where there is no question of perverting judgment, or of false thoughts, of false emotions, of fleeting affections, then you are truly in possession of the Truth, then truly are you like myself -the Beloved.

其他人也许鼓励，其他人也许阻挠，但是在只有在你内才有去行走的力量，只有在你内才有决心，只有在你内才有智慧，如果你想获得那真理，如果你想在真理的知识方面变的完美，你必须走过这个弃绝的过程，把那些没有价值的事情放在一旁，把你的小知识放在一旁为了获得更伟大的知识，把你的小智慧放在一旁为了获得那更大的智慧；并且因此当你到达那住所，在那里没有怀疑的，错误判断的乌云，在那里没有滥用判断的，或者错误的想法的，错误的情感的，暂时的喜爱的问题的时候，那么你就真正地拥有了真理，那么你真正地像你自己——挚爱者。

The mistaken belief that the EU is responsible for as much as 80% of all legislation in Europe (it is no more than 50%), and a lack of understanding of the role of national governments, including Britain's, in passing EU laws, have fostered the belief that an unaccountable and undemocratic machine in Brussels is somehow usurping the ancient role of Parliament.

认为欧盟要负责欧洲80%的立法（其实是不超过50%）的错误想法，对包括英国在内的国家政府在通过欧盟法律时所扮演的角色缺乏理解，这些都助长了一种偏见：位于布鲁塞尔的欧盟就是一个莫名其妙的、不民主的机器，不知何故正在篡夺议会所承担的古老角色。

While it can be assumed that in a highly competitive industry not dominated by a single corporation,investment in innovation---a risky and expensive budget item---might meet resistance from mangagement and stockholders who might more concerned with costcutting , efficient organization,and large advertising budgets,it would be an egregious error to assume that the monopolistic producer should be equate with bountiful expenditures for research.

同时我们可以假设一个不是被单一社团控制的处于高度竞争的企业，在革新方面的投资---一种冒险而又昂贵的预算款项----也可能遇到来自管理层和股东的阻力，这些管理层和股东他们也许更关注的是降低成本、有效组织和大的广告预算。设想一个垄断的生产商应当为了调查研究而支出大量的金钱那将是一个天大的错误想法。
