雪片

A personnel manager may be snowed under with job application letters.

一个人事部经理可能接到如雪片般纷纷飞来的求职信，忙得不可开交。

As he watched the snow-flakes falling every moment thicker and faster upon the lonely road, he was surprised by seeing a brougham driving slowly up the hill.

当他瞧着雪片一刻密似一刻、一刻快似一刻地纷纷扬扬落到寂寞的道路上时，他吃了一惊，竟看到一辆四轮轿子马车慢慢地走上小山来了。

About an hour and a half after this, as Robert stood at the door of the inn, smoking a cigar and watching the snow falling in the whitened fields opposite, he saw the brougham drive back, empty this time, to the door of the inn.

大约一个半钟头以后，当罗伯特站在旅馆门口抽着雪茄、望着雪片落在对面白净的田野里时，他看到那轿式马车回来了，这回是空车，一直开到旅馆门口。

How he raised a kite from a cow shed, and was showered with all the high degrees the colleges of the world could give

他如何从牛棚放起风筝，后来却荣获世界各大学所能给予的雪片般飞来的高级学衔

Franklin's life is full of charming stories which all young men should know — how he peddled ballads in Boston, and stood, the guest of kings, in Europe; how he worked his passage as a stowaway to Philadelphia, and rode in the queen's own litter in France; how he walked the streets of Philadelphia, homeless and unknown, with threepenny rolls for his breakfast, and dined at the tables of princess, and received his friends in a palace; how he raised a kite from a cow shed, and was showered with all the high degrees the colleges of the world could give; how he was duped by a false friend as a boy, and became the friend of all humanity as a man; how he was made Major General Franklin, only to resign because, as he said, he was no solider, and yet helped to organize the army's that stood before the trained troops of England and Germany.

富兰克林的一生充满了迷人的传奇故事，青年人都应该知道：他如何在波士顿街道上叫卖民歌唱本，而后来又成为欧洲各国君王的宾客；他如何逃票登船，然后靠做工抵偿船资才到达赞城，后来在法兰西却坐上了王后的轿子；他如何买三个便士的面包卷当早饭，在费城的街道上流浪，举目无亲，无家可归。后来却成为公王筵席上的常客，并且在宫殿里会见他的朋友；他如何从牛棚放起风筝，后来却荣获世界各大学所能给予的雪片般飞来的高级学衔；他在儿时如何被一个虚伪的朋友所欺骗，成年后却成为全人类的良友；他如何被任命为富兰克林少将，但他仅是说他不是军人就辞了职，然而却又帮助缔造了那支敢于同训练有素的英德联军抗衡的军队。

"Look here, Malfoy," Harry waved his croissant and flakes of bread rained down on the table.

"听着，Malfoy，"Harry晃着他的羊角面包，结果面包的碎屑雪片一样落在了桌子上。

The only other sound's the sweep, Of easy wind and downy flake.

那唯一飘掠过的别样声响，是微风吹拂着柔软的雪片。

He scattered 1500 grams dry ice in cumulus layer of solid carbon dioxide, after 5 minutes, cumulus actually all became snowflake, wave in succession fall down, because air is dry, snowflake is waving fall 600 meters later, overall raising of things to a higher level is lunt.

他在积云层中撒了1500克干冰，5分钟后，积云竟然全都变成了雪片，纷纷飘落下来，由于空气干燥，雪片在飘落600米之后，又全部升华为水汽。

But somehow I was changing my mind about her almost against my will and I said,"Listen, my Z is out front and if you got no place better to go my apartment is in Lafayette," and shesaid,"I'd love to see it lap the miles," but then she explained that she had to get back to the nineteenth century and she was gone like that just gone and I noticed the whole time we'd been talking she'd been shredding up a paper napkin and it lay in a littlepile like snowflakes that had drifted against the ashtray except of course they weren't snowflakes at all but little shreds of paper, little teensy shreds, and I tried to get one more shot but it was too late.

不过不知怎的，我几乎违背意愿的在改变对她的看法，那我就说："听着，我的 Z 出去了，那如果你没有更好的地方去，我的公寓在拉斐特，"那她说，"我很愿意绕几哩路去看看，"但是接着又解释说她得回十九世纪去，她就无影无踪了，就这么不见了，而我一直注意着，我们一边谈着话，她就这么一边在撕着一张纸巾，现在它堆在那儿就像一堆从烟缸里飘下来的雪片，当然这不是雪片而是小碎纸片，细细的小碎片，而我想再喝一杯但是已经太迟了。

Snow is made up of millions of flakes, each a Bit of water vapor that in freezing temperatures was changed into a flake of snow.

雪是由几百万片雪片组成，每一雪片是由一滴水汽在冰点下变成的。

We have no common name for a mime of Sophron or Xenarchus and a Socratic Conversation; and we should still be without one even if the imitation in the two instances were in trimeters or elegiacs or some other kind of verse--though it is the way with people to tack on 'poet' to the name of a metre, and talk of elegiac-poets and epic-poets, thinking that they call them poets not by reason of the imitative nature of their work, but indiscriminately by reason of the metre they write in.

索夫农 、森那库斯和苏格拉底式的对话采用的模仿没有一个公共的名称；三音步诗、挽歌体或其他类型的诗的模仿也没有——人们把&诗人&这一名词和格律名称结合到一起，称之为挽歌体诗人或者史诗诗人，他们被称为诗人，似乎只是因为遵守格律写作，而非他们作品的模仿本质。

The relationship between communicative competence and grammar teaching should be that of the ends and the means.

交际能力和语法的关系应该是目标与途径的关系。
