高贵的

Best is Water of all, and Gold as a flaming fire in the night shineth eminent amid lordly wealth; but if of prizes in the games thou art fain, O my soul, to tell, then, as for no bright star more quickening than the sun must thou search in the void firmament by day, so neither shall we find any games greater than the Olympic whereof to utter our voice: for hence cometh the glorious hymn and entereth into the minds of the skilled in song, so that they celebrate the son[1] of Kronos, when to the rich and happy hearth of Hieron they are come; for he wieldeth the sceptre of justice in Sicily of many flocks, culling the choice fruits of all kinds of excellence: and with the flower of music is he made splendid, even such strains as we sing blithely at the table of a friend.

水为元素中的至善，黄金像火焰一样在高贵的珠宝中闪耀；若要歌颂竞技的荣耀，哦，我的灵魂，白昼的苍穹里没有比太阳更明亮的星辰，奥林匹亚竞技会是我们为之歌唱的首选：荣耀的赞歌由此而来，歌声铭刻在技艺精湛者心里，为此他们歌唱克洛诺斯伟大的儿子，歌声直抵西隆丰富而快活的心灵；他在西西里挥动公正的权杖，看护如云的羊群，他采摘果实，那精品中的精品：音乐的芬芳让他光彩夺目，这样的曲调我们甚至在款待朋友的宴会上欢歌。让我们拿起鲁特琴，光荣的神驹在比萨昂首奋蹄，沿阿菲奥斯河堤绝尘而去，无需鞭打或踢刺，它的主人，锡拉库扎的国王为马群笑逐颜开，荣耀无比。

But, my good friend, reflect whether that which is noble and good is not something different from saving and being saved; for as to a man living such or such a time, at least one who is really a man, consider if this is not a thing to be dismissed from the thoughts: and there must be no love of life: but as to these matters a man must intrust them to the deity and believe what the women say, that no man can escape his destiny, the next inquiry being how he may best live the time that he has to live.

我的好朋友，且想想那高贵的和善的事情是不是某种与拯救和得救不同的事情；因为对一个生活这么长或那么长一段时间的人、至少是一个真正的人来说，考虑一下，是否这不是一件脱离这种思想的事情：那儿一定不存在对生命的任何爱恋，但关于这些事情，一个人必须把它们托付给神，并相信命运女神所说的，没有谁能逃脱自己的命运，接着要探究的是：他如何才能最好地度过他必须度过的这一段时间。

Rather it was "the good" themselves, that is to say, the noble, powerful, high-stationed and high-minded, who felt and established themselves and their actions as good, that is, of the first rank, in contradistinction to all the low, low-minded, common and plebeian.

其实它是起源于那些"好人"自己，也就是说那些高贵的、有力的、上层的、高尚的人们判定他们自己和他们的行为是好的，意即他们感觉并且确定他们自己和他们的行为是上等的，用以对立于所有低下的、卑贱的、平庸的和粗俗的。

Nature sent him into the world strong and lusty, in a thriving condition, wearing his own hair on his head, the proper branches of this reasoning vegetable, till the axe of intemperance has lopped off his green boughs, and left him a withered trunk, he then flies m art, and puts on a periwig, valuing himself upon an unnatural bundle of baits, all covered with powder, that never grew on his head, but now should this our broomstick pretend to enter the scene, proud of those birchen spoils it never bore, and all coveted with dust,through the sweepings of the finest lady's chamber, we should be apt to ridicule and despise its vanity Partial judges that we are of our own excellencies, and other men's defaults!

当大自然送他入世之初，他是强壮有力的，处于兴旺时期，满头的天生好发；如果比作一株有理性的植物，那就是枝叶齐全。但不久酗酒贪色就像一把斧子砍掉了他的青枝绿叶，只留给他一根枯株。他赶紧求助于人工，戴上了头套，以一束扑满香粉但非他头上所长的假发为荣。要是我们这把扫帚也这样登场，由于把一些别的树条收集到身上而得意洋洋，其实这些条上尽是尘土，即使是最高贵的夫人房里的尘土，我们一定会笑它如何虚荣吧！我们就是这样偏心的审判官，偏于自己的优点，别人的毛病！1.pretend："自认为有能力"的意思，根据上下文的情况可以翻译为"想"

There was, to be sure, in the Renaissance an uncanny and glittering reawakening of the classical ideal, of the noble mode of evaluating all things; Rome itself, oppressed by the new superimposed Judaized Rome that presented the aspect of an ecumenical synagogue and was called the "church," stirred like one awakened from seeming death: but Judea immediately triumphed again, thanks to that thoroughly plebeian ressentiment movement called the Reformation, and to that which was bound to arise from it, the restoration of the church—the restoration too of the ancient sepulchral repose of classical Rome.

的确，在文艺复兴时期，古典的理想、高贵的价值观念曾经历了光辉夺目的复苏。罗马就像一个假死苏醒的人一样在那座新建的犹太式罗马城的重压下面蠢动起来，那新罗马俨然是一座世界性的犹太教堂，它被称为"教会"。但是，很快地犹太教又一次获胜，这要归功于发生在德国和英国的运动，它被称为宗教改革，而实质上是平民的怨恨运动。伴随这场运动而来的是：教会的重振和古罗马再次被置于古老的墓穴安宁之中。

Bulbs,corms and tubers Once established, bulbs give a succession of colour from bright spring to gloomy winter for most gardeners, the joy of returning spring is heralded by the appearance of early flowering bulbs in all their amazing variety, Gentle nodding snowdrop,sun-catching crocuses, golden daffodils and stately tulips take us from January to May in a seasonal succession of extraordinary beauty.

Bulbs，corms and tubers 鳞茎，球茎和块茎鳞茎类植物一旦扎根，其色彩将呈现出从明媚的春天到阴暗的冬季的演替变幻。对于大多数园艺师来说，回春的乐趣在于被先开花卉的鳞茎其令人惊异的品种的出现所预示。从一月到五月，在这一轮季节的演替中，缓缓低垂的雪花莲，追逐着太阳的番红花，金色的黄水仙和高贵的郁金香给我们带来了非比寻常的美。

Brief and powerless is Man's life; on him and all his race the slow, sure doom falls pitiless and dark. Blind to good and evil, reckless of destruction, omnipotent matter rolls on its relentless way; for Man, condemned to-day to lose his dearest, to-morrow himself to pass through the gate of darkness, it remains only to cherish, ere yet the blow falls, the lofty thoughts that ennoble his little day; disdaining the coward terrors of the slave of Fate, to worship at the shrine that his own hands have built; undismayed by the empire of chance, to preserve a mind free from the wanton tyranny that rules his outward life; proudly defiant of the irresistible forces that tolerate, for a moment, his knowledge and his condemnation, to sustain alone, a weary but unyielding Atlas, the world that his own ideals have fashioned despite the trampling march of unconscious power.

人的生命是短暂而脆弱的，不可避免的死亡虽然缓慢，但一定会降临在每一个人身上，阴森而无情，这个全能的物质世界毫不容情地滚滚前行无视善恶，任意摧毁，对与人来说，注定今天要失去最亲爱的亲人朋友，明天自己也要通过黑暗的死亡之门，人的生命存在就在于死亡来袭之前，珍惜那些使他短暂的生命变得高贵的思想，鄙弃对命运的恐惧，对自建的圣坛顶礼膜拜，不受机缘的摆布，摆脱主宰他外部生活的粗暴统治而取得心灵的自由，敢于骄傲地向那些不可抗拒的压力挑战----这些压力对其认识和判断力不过是暂时的----他就像疲惫而不屈的擎天巨神，独自支撑着他自己的理想世界，对这种无意识力量的肆意践踏毫不理会。

Labor vanquishes all---not inconstant, spasmodic, or ill-directed labor; but faithful, unremitting, daily effort toward a well-directed purpose. Just as truly as eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, so is eternal industry the price of noble and enduring success.

英国工党征服了一切，不是易变的，间断的，错方向的努力，而是可靠的，持续的，对于一个正确的目标不断的尝试，自主权的价值所在就是像永久的失眠一样真实，所以，坚持不懈的勤奋就是高贵的不朽成就的价值所在。

Through a series of analysis to ancient Greek art,Lessing brought classic heroes into realistic sphere meanwhile held a negative attitude to Winckelmann's opinion of "noble purity and solemn greatness",intended at ast to build up Deutsche national artistic ideology that was independent of French Clas...

莱辛通过《拉奥孔》所提出的一系列对古希腊艺术的分析，在否定温克尔曼的"高贵的单纯和静穆的伟大"的观点的同时，把古典英雄纳入到现实的领域，最终目的是建立独立于法国古典主义的德意志民族艺术理想，同时也为19世纪后期德意志文学辉煌时代的到来进行了理论上的奠基。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
