The historian Frederick J. Tuner wrote in the 1890’s that the agrarian discontent that had been developing steadily in the United States since about 1870 had been precipitated by the closing of the internal frontier—that is , the depletion of available new land needed for further expansion of the American farming system.
历史学家Frederick J Tuner在19世纪90年代写道：自1870年以来美国农民的不满一直在缓慢增长，直到1870年关闭了内部前沿以后就被加速了——就是说，用于扩张农业系统的新土地资源已经枯竭了。

The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge are necessary, love is in a sense more fundamental, since it will lead intelligent people to seek knowledge, in order to find out how to benefit those they love. Delight without well-wishing may be cruel; well- wishing without delight easily tends to become cold and little superior.
Bertrand Russell British philosopher
美好生活由爱来激励，受知识指导。.....尽管爱与知识都必要，但在某种意义上爱更重要。因为爱会引导聪明的人去寻求知识，看看怎样能使他们所爱的人得益。...没有善良的愿望的喜悦可能是残酷；没有喜悦的善良容易变得冷漠和傲视一切。
英国哲学罗素，B.
The laws of Nature, that is to say the laws of God, plainly made every human being a law unto himself, we must steadfastly refuse to obey those laws, and we must as steadfastly stand by the conventions which ignore them , since the statutes furnish us peace, fairly good government and stability, and therefore are better for us than the laws of God, which would soon plunge us into confusion and disorder and anarchy if we should adopt them.
Mark Twain, American writer
自然法即神灵法，只是用来约束每一个个体的法律，我们必须坚定地拒绝遵守。我们应该坚定地遵守忽视神灵法的规章制度，因为规章制度赋予我们和平、比较好的政府和稳定，因而对我们来说，规章制度比神灵法更好，因为如果我们采用神灵法的话，他会将我们陷入迷惑、无序和无政府状态。
美国作家马克?吐温
I have long since abandoned the notion that higher education is essential to either success or happiness. Hot houses of learning do not always grow anything edible.

我早已抛弃了这种观念：高等教育是通往成功或者幸福的必由之路。知识的“温室”并不总能生长可供食物用的粮食。

Fifty years ago, the chance of a baby (particularly a boy baby) surviving depended on its weight.

如果你点燃炉灶，可能会把房子烧掉。
Luckily, if the doormat or stove failed to warn of coming disaster, a successful lawsuit might compensate you for your troubles.
但是假如门垫或炉灶上没有警示语告诉你可能发生的危害，那么你或许可以就自己所受的伤害通过法律诉讼，成功地获得赔偿。
Or so the thinking has gone since the early 1980s, when juries began holding more companies liable for their customers' misfortunes.

但是对少数学生而言，职业培训也许是可取之路，因为在其他因素相同的情况下，熟练的技能是能否得到工作的关键。
The official statistics are mildly discouraging.
官方的统计数字却有点不让人乐观。
They show that, if you lump manufacturing and services together, productivity has grown on average by 1.2% since 1987.
这些数据表明，如果把制造业和服务业合起来算，1987年以来生产力平均增长1.2%。
That is somewhat faster than the average during the previous decade.
这比前10年的平均增长速度略快。
And since 1991, productivity has increased by about 2% a year, which is more than twice the 1978-1987 average.
自1991年来，生产力每年约增长2%。这比1978年—1987年的平均增长速度高两倍以上。
The trouble is that part of the recent acceleration is due to the usual rebound that occurs at this point in a business cycle, and so is not conclusive evidence of a revival in the underlying trend.
问题在于，近年发生的生产力快速增长部分是由于商业周期通常到了这时候就会出现的反弹造成的，因而它不是经济复苏已经是潜在趋势的结论性证据。
Americans have been migrating south and west in larger numbers since World War II, and the pattern still prevails.
第二次世界大战以来，美国人大量向南部和西部迁移，而且这种趋势如今仍很盛行。
Moreover, demographers see the continuing shift south and west as joined by a related but newer phenomenon: More and more, Americans apparently are looking not just for places with more jobs but with fewer people, too. Some instances —
而且，人口学家发现，向南部和向西部的不断迁移还伴随着一种相关却又较新的现象：越来越多的美国人显然不再仅仅寻找有更多工作机会的地方，也在寻找人口稀少的地方。例证如下：
● Regionally, the Rocky Mountain states reported the most rapid growth rate — 37.1 percent since 1970 in a vast area with only 5 percent of the US population.
从区域上看，洛基山脉各州上报了自1970年以来最高的人口增长率——37.1％，而以前这片广阔的土地上的人口仅占美国总人口的5％。
● Among states, Nevada and Arizona grew fastest of all: 63.5 and 53.1 percent respectively. Except for Florida and Texas, the top 10 in rate of growth is composed of Western states with 7.5 million people — about 9 per square mile.
从各州情况看，内华达和亚利桑那是增长最快的两个州：其增长率分别为63.5％和53.1％。除了佛罗里达州和得克萨斯州外，处于人口增长率前10位的都是西部各州，共有750万人——每平方英里约9个人。
"Is this what you intended to accomplish with your careers?" Senator Robert Dole asked Time Warner executives last week.
"You have sold your souls, but must you corrupt our nation and threaten our children as well?"
At Time Warner, however, such questions are simply the latest manifestation of the soul-searching that has involved the company ever since the company was born in 1990.
It's a self-examination that has, at various times, involved issues of responsibility, creative freedom and the corporate bottom line.
参议员罗伯特·多尔上星期质问时代华纳公司高级人员时说：“难道这就是你们要成就的事业吗？你们已经出卖了自己的灵魂，难道你们还非要腐化我们的国家，威胁我们的孩子不成？”不过，对于成立于1990年的时代华纳公司而言，
这样的质问仅仅只是公司自我反思的最新表白，是在不同时期涉及责任、创作自由和公司底线问题的自我反省。
Economists have been particularly surprised by favourable inflation figures in Britain and the United States, since conventional measures suggest that both economies, and especially America's, have little productive slack. America's capacity utilisation, for example, hit historically high levels earlier this year, and its jobless rate (5.6% in August) has fallen below most estimates of the natural rate of unemployment — the rate below which inflation has taken off on the past.
经济学家对英美两国有利的通胀率感到特别诧异，因为传统的计量方法表明两国经济，特别是美国经济几乎没有生产萧条的时候。比如，美国的生产力利用率在今年前段时间达到了历史最高水平，失业率（8月份为5.6％）已降到低于对自然失业率的大多数估测——过去，当比率低于自然失业率时，通货膨胀率早已迅速上升。
By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way.
相比之下，对成长过程的测定就难多了，因为从定义上讲，它是一次旅行，不是沿途上的某个路标或界标。
In addition to this, there is the growing mobility of people since World War Ⅱ.
除此之外，二战以来，人口流动性日益增大。
But the environment must also have a profound effect, since if competition is important to the parents, it is likely to become a major factor in the lives of their children.
但环境也一定对其有深刻的影响，因为如果竞争对父母来说很重要的话，那它也可能成为孩子生活中的一个重要因素。
Forgetting clearly aids orientation in time, since old memories weaken and the new tend to stand out, providing clues for inferring duration.
显然，遗忘有助于时间的定位，因为旧的记忆淡忘，新的记忆往往就突出，从而为推算持续的时间提供线索。

Virginia Woolf's provocative statement about her intentions in writing Mrs. Dalloway has regularly been ignored by the critics, since it highlights an aspect of her literary interests very different from the traditional picture of the "poetic" novelist concerned with examining states of reverie and vision and with following the intricate pathways of individual consciousness.
弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫（Virginia Woolf）在创作《黛洛维夫人》（Mrs. Dalloway）时有关其创作意图的这番发人深思的陈述，迄今为止一贯为文学评论家们所忽略，因为它突出反映了她诸多文学兴趣中某一方面，而这一方面则与人们对“诗性”小说家（poetic novelist）所形成的传统见解大相径庭。
所谓的“诗性”小说家，所关注的是审视想入非非和白日梦幻的诸般状态，并致力于追寻个体意识的通幽曲径。
Woolf's own social criticism is expressed in the language of observation rather than in direct commentary, since for her, fiction is a contemplative, not an active art.
伍尔夫自己的社会批评是用观察而非直接评论的语言来表达的，因为对她来说，小说是一种凝视观照的（contemplative）的艺术，而非实用主义的艺术。她描述诸般现象，并提供材料，让人们就社会问题形成评判。

Since science tries to deal with reality, even the most precise sciences normally work with more or less imperfectly understood approximations toward which scientists must maintain an appropriate skepticism.

The physicist rightly dreads precise argument, since an argument that is convincing only if it is precise loses all its force if the assumptions on which it is based are slightly changed, whereas an argument that is convincing though imprecise may well be stable under small perturbations of its underlying assumptions.
物理学家恐惧于那些精确无误的论据不无道理，因为某种只有在它是精确无误的条件下才令人置信的论据，一旦它赖于建立其上的假设稍有变化，便会失去它一部的作用；而与此相反，一个尽管并不精确无误但却令人置信的论据，在其基本假设（underlying assumption）稍微受干扰的情况下，仍然有可能是站得住脚的。
Rosenblatt's thematic analysis permits considerable objectivity; he even explicitly states that it is not his intention to judge the merit of the various works—yet his reluctance seems misplaced, especially since an attempt to appraise might have led to interesting results.
罗森布拉特的主题分析允许相当程度的客观性；他甚至还直言不讳地声称，他无意对各种作品孰优孰劣作出评判——然则，他的这种不情愿似显得不合时宜，尤其是因为果真作出一番评判努力的话早就会带来某些饶有兴趣的结果。
The historian Frederick J. Turner wrote in the 1890's that the agrarian discontent that had been developing steadily in the United States since about 1870 had been precipitated by the closing of the internal frontier--that is, the depletion of available new land needed for further expansion of the American farming system.
史学家弗雷德里克·杰·特纳（Frederick J.Turner）于十九世纪九十年代著述道，美国约自18世纪70年代以来一直在持续不断发展的农民不满，由于国内边远地区（internal frontier）的封闭而更趋加剧——亦即是说，美国农业系统进一步扩展所必需的可资利用的新土地几近耗竭。
Since these quanta are believed to be indivisible packages of energy and so cannot be further refined, we reach a point beyond which further resolution of the world is not possible.
由于这些量子据信为不可分割的能量综合体（package of energy），因而无法被进一步细分，我们便抵达一个极点，在此之后不再可能对物质世界作进一步分解。
Finally, since the Iliad presents a historically verifiable action, Troy's siege, the poem raises historical questions that are absent from the Odyssey's blithely imaginative world.
最后，由于《伊利亚特》所描绘的是一次在历史上有案可稽的战争，即对特洛伊城的围攻，故该史诗便引发诸般历史真实性的问题，而这类问题在《奥德赛》那轻松愉快的想象力世界中则荡然无存。
For starry flounders, then, the left-eyed variety would be selected against, since in a starry flounder the left optic nerve is uppermost.
因此，对于星状鲆鱼来说，双眼左侧摆位这一形态应通过选择而予以废弃，因为在星状鲆鱼身上，左视神经位于最上部。
But this cannot be the whole explanation since it is merely negative, based only on a lack of something.
但这并不能构成一种完整的解释，因为它仅仅是从反面进行的，以某些事物的缺乏为其依据。
In prehistoric times, when food was so precious and the on-lookers so hungry, not to offer half of the little food one had was unthinkable, since every glance was a plea for life.
在史前时代，当食物是如此之珍贵，又旁观者又是如此之饥饿时，不将自己所拥有的少得可怜的食物的一半奉献出来是绝难想象的，因为投过来的每一瞥眼神均是一次生命的乞求。
Since Neolithic times, sculpture has been considered the prerogative of men, partly, perhaps, for purely physical reasons: it was erroneously assumed that women were not suited for the hard manual labor required in sculpting stone, carving wood, or working in metal.
自从新石器时代（Neolithic times）以来，雕塑一直被视作男人的特权，部分程度上或计是因为纯粹的生理原因：人们误以为女性不适于雕石、刻木、镂制金属所必需的繁重体力劳动。
It has been only during the twentieth century that women sculptors have been recognized as major artists, and it has been in the United States, especially since the decades of the fifties and sixties, that women sculptors have shown the greatest originality and creative power.
只有在二十世纪，女艺术家才被承认为主要艺术家，并且只有在美国，尤其是自从五十年代和六十年代以来，女雕塑家们才展现出了最非凡的独特性和创造力。
Since the Hawaiian Islands have never been connected to other land masses, the great variety of plants in Hawaii must be a result of the long-distance dispersal of seeds, a process that requires both a method of transport and an equivalence between the ecology of the source area and that of the recipient area.
既然夏威夷群岛（Hawaiin Islands）从不曾与其它陆块相联，那么，夏威夷植物的巨大多样性只能是源自种籽的远距离播散，而这一过程则不仅仅需要某种传输方法，而且亦要求在来源地的生态环境与接收地的生态环境之间存在一种相同情形。
Since disease-fighting antibodies bind to the capsid, an antibody developed to protect against one rhinovirus strain is useless against other strains.
既然抗击疾病的抗体是与病毒壳体相结合，则被发展用来抵御一种鼻病毒的抗体对于其它各类的鼻病毒便皆无用处。
Since most orb weavers belong either to the Araneidae or the Uloboridae families, the origin of the orb web can be determined only by ascertaining whether the families are related.
既然绝大部分编织圆形蜘蛛网的蜘蛛要么属于圆蛛科（Araneidae），要么属于虫无蛛科（Uloboridae），所以，圆形蜘蛛网的起源只能通过弄清此两科蜘蛛是否互有联系来确定。
Since scientists could not experiment on human body tissue, their knowledge of familial hypercholesterolemia was severely limited.
由于科学家无法对人体组织进行实验，因此，他们有关家族性高胆固醇血症的知识严重不足。
Moreover, since many feminist ideas can be traced to Saint-Simonianism, European historians' appreciation of later feminism in France and the United States remained limited.
因此，由于忽略了其女权主义思想可追溯至圣—西门主义，因此，欧洲史学家们对在法国和美国后起的女权主义运动的欣赏显得十分有限。
Since around 50 percent of all stars are believed to begin their lives with masses greater than 1.4M⊙, we might expect that one out of every two stars would die as a supernova.
由于所有星球中约50%的星球据信都是以大于1.4M☉的质量开始其生命的,我们则期望,每两颗星球中便有一颗会作为超新星死亡。
Of the thousands of specimens of meteorites found on Earth and known to science, only about 100 are igneous; that is, they have undergone melting by volcanic action at some time since the planets were first formed.
在地球上所被发现的并为科学所已知的数以千计的陨石（meteorite）种类中，仅约100种的陨石是火成的（igneous）；也就是说，自从诸行星最初形成以来，它们在过去的某个时候已经历过由火山作用而致的溶化过程。
While some scientists speculate that shergotties derive from Io (a volcanically active moon of Jupiter), recent measurements suggest that since Io's surface is rich in sulfur and sodium, the chemical composition of its volcanic products would probably be unlike that of the shergottites.
虽然某些科学家猜测，辉熔长无球陨石起源于木卫一（Io，木星的一个火山活动频繁的卫星），但最近的测量表明，由于木卫一的表面含有丰富的硫和钠，因此，其火山产物的化学构成可能不会与辉熔长无球粒陨石的化学构成相同。
Despite the reluctance of his producers, who feared that the public would not be able to follow a plot that was made up of such juxtaposed images, Griffith persisted, and experimented as well with other elements of cinematic syntax that have become standard ever since.
尽管制片商们甚感不愿，唯恐公众无法跟上由这样的并置画面所构成的情节，但格里菲斯依然我行我素，坚持不懈，并实验电影语言的其它因素，而正是这些因素自从那时起便变作一种标准规范。

U.S.-Chinese cooperation has increased since the September 2001 terrorist attacks, despite friction over trade issues and Taiwan. The United States has looked to China to prod North Korea to return to the six-party talks Beijing has hosted on that country's nuclear program.

"Every day, 10,000 people die because of the water-related diseases and problems and shortages," he added. "Every eight seconds, a child dies as a result of water contamination. In the past 10 years, diarrhea has killed more children than all the people lost to armed conflict since World War II."
他说：“每天大约有一万人因为与水相关的疾病和问题，以及缺水等原因而死亡。每八秒钟就有一个儿童因为水污染而死亡。在过去10年里，因患痢疾死去的儿童的数量，比第二次世界大战以来在军事冲突中丧生的所有人还要多。”
Syria has been under intense pressure to get its troops and intelligence services out of Lebanon since the February 14 assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.

Astronomers believe the star's magnetic field caused the outburst, but do not understand how. One possibility is that the blast was like an ultra-powerful solar flare. This is where a magnetic field changes shape and bumps into itself. Since magnetic fields cause electrical currents, such a collision could have caused a monumental short circuit visible from Earth.
天文学家认为，这种星球的磁场导致了爆炸的发生，但是，他们不明白是如何发生的。一种可能的原因是这种爆炸很像有超级能量的太阳耀斑。这就是磁星的磁场改变了形状然后向本身内部撞击。因此磁场产生了电流，这样的碰撞可以导致强烈的短路并且可在地球上看到。
"Although it's disappointing to see that the violence that has ensued since my last visit has resulted in an Iraq where it is more difficult to move around, there's no doubt in my mind that the long-term future of the Iraqi people is far brighter and that the transition to power in the hands of the Iraqi people has and is occurring," she said.

"There are still governments that sponsor and harbor terrorists -- but their number has declined. There are still regimes seeking weapons of mass destruction -- but no longer without attention and without consequence. Our country is still the target of terrorists who want to kill many, and intimidate us all -- and we will stay on the offensive against them, until the fight is won," he said.

The Kellogg chief executive is the second Latino to be named to a Cabinet post since the president's November 2 election victory.

Malignant neoplasm of oesophagus
Note: Two alternative subclassifications are given:
.0-.2 by anatomical description
.3-.5 by thirds

divisions are not analogous.
食道的恶性肿瘤
注 ： 二种次分类择其一 ：
.0-.2 ： 以解剖叙述
.3-.5 ： 以叁等分来区分
这违反各项目必须互相排斥的原则 ， 但二种命名方
式皆被使用 ， 且其解剖学上分类并不相同。

Mental and behavioural disorders due to multiple drug use and use of
other psychoactive substances [See pages 321-323 for subdivisions]
This category should be used when two or more psychoactive substances are known to be
involved, hut it is impossible to assess which substance is contributing most to the
disorders. It should also be used when the exact identity of some or even all the
psychoactive substances being used is uncertain or unknown, since many multiple drug users
themselves often do not know the details of what they are taking.
Includes: misuse of drugs NOS

病症。当所使用之种种精神作用物质中有些或全部
不知为何种名称时 ， 即要使用此诊断。因为许多使

药物。

Transport accidents (V01-V99)
Note: This section is structured in 12 groups. Those relating to land transport accidents
(V01-V89) reflect the victim's mode of transport and are subdivided to identify the
victim's "counterpart" or the type of event. The vehicle of which the injured
person is an occupant is identified in the first two characters since it is seen as the
most important factor to identify for prevention purposes.
Excludes: assault by crashing of motor vehicle (Y03.-)
event of undetermined intent (Y32-Y33)
intentional self-harm (X82-X83)
transport accidents due to cataclysm (X34-X38)

别 （V01-V89） 除了反应出受害者所选择的运输方式外 ，
还被用来细分以辨明受害者的相对应角色或事件的
形式。而我们用受伤的人所乘坐之交通工具的前两
字母做为辨识 ， 因为这是辨明预防方式之重要因素
。
不包含 ： 因机动运车辆冲撞之加害 (Y03.-)
动机不明的事件 (Y32-Y33)
蓄意的自我伤害 (X82-X83)
