As recently as 1995, the top four railroads accounted for under 70 percent of the total ton-miles moved by rails.
近至1995年，四家大型铁路公司占有整个铁路运输业务的约70％。

到明年，一系列兼并活动完成之后，四家铁路公司将控制90％以上的铁路运输业务。
A lateral move that hurt my pride and blocked my professional progress prompted me to abandon my relatively high profile career although, in the manner of a disgraced government minister, I covered my exit by claiming "I wanted to spend more time with my family".
一次平级的人事调动伤了我的自尊心，并阻断了我的事业发展，这促使我放弃自己地位较高的职业，当然，就像面子扫尽的政府部长那样，我也掩饰说“我只想与家人更多的呆在一起”。
I have discovered, as perhaps Kelsey will after her much-publicized resignation from the editorship of She after a build-up of stress, that abandoning the doctrine of "juggling your life", and making the alternative move into “downshifting” brings with it far greater rewards than financial success and social status.
我已经发现（由于压力过大，凯茜已多次公开宣称要辞去《她》杂志编辑的职务，在这之后她也许会有同样发现），放弃“忙忙碌碌”的生活哲学，转而过一种“放慢生活节奏”的生活所带来的回报，比经济成功和社会地位更有价值。
Nothing could persuade me to return to the kind of life Kelsey used to advocate and I once enjoyed: 12-hour working days, pressured deadlines, the fearful strain of office politics and the limitations of being a parent on "quality time".
什么也说服不了我回到过去那种凯茜所宣扬的、我也曾自得其乐的生活中去：每天12小时的工作日，压得人喘不过气来的最后期限，可怕而紧张的办公室的争权夺利，以及因为时间有限连做母亲也得“高效率”所造成的种种限制。
In America, the move away from juggling to a simpler, less materialistic lifestyle is a well-established trend.
在美国，摆脱忙碌，转而过一种简单、不大物质化的生活已成明确趋势。
When a Scottish research team startled the world by revealing 3 months ago that it had cloned an adult sheep, President Clinton moved swiftly.
当一个苏格兰研究小组透露三个月前他们克隆了一只成年绵羊时，世界为之震惊，克林顿总统迅速做出反应。
Declaring that he was opposed to using this unusual animal husbandry technique to clone humans, he ordered that federal funds not be used for such an experiment — although no one had proposed to do so — and asked an independent panel of experts chaired by Princeton President Harold Shapiro to report back to the White House in 90 days with recommendations for a national policy on human cloning.
他宣称反对利用这种非同寻常的畜牧业技术去克隆人，并下令禁止使用联邦资金做这样的实验——尽管还没有人提议要那样做——并责成成立一个由普林斯顿大学校长哈罗德·夏皮罗为首的独立专家小组，在90天内拿出有关克隆人的国家政策的建议，向白宫汇报。
Three sun-belt states — Florida, Texas and California — together had nearly 10 million more people in 1980 than a decade earlier.
佛罗里达、得克萨斯和加利福尼亚这三个阳光充沛的地区，1980年的人口比前10年增加了近1000万。
Among large cities, San Diego moved from 14th to 8th and San Antonio form 15th to 10th — with Cleveland and Washington DC dropping out of the top 10.
在大城市排行榜上，圣地亚哥从第14位上升到第8位，圣安东尼奥从第15位升到第10位，而克利夫兰和华盛顿特区却被挤出了前10位。
Most of the hot spots move only slowly, and in some cases the movement of the plates past them has left trails of dead volcanoes.
大多数热点移动非常缓慢，有时，板块滑过这些热点便留下了死火山的痕迹。
The hot spots and their volcanic trails are milestones that mark the passage of the plates.
热点及其火山痕迹是板块移动的标志。
That the plates are moving is now beyond dispute.
板块漂移这一理论现在是毋庸置疑的。
Africa and South America, for example, are moving away from each other as new material is injected into the sea floor between them.
例如，以非洲和南美洲为例，由于有新的物质注入二者之间的海底，两大洲距离越来越远。
It is not possible to determine whether both continents are moving in opposite directions or whether one continent is stationary and the other is drifting away from it. Hot spots, anchored in the deeper layers of the earth, provide the measuring instruments needed to resolve the question.
人们不能确定两个大陆是在朝相反的方向运动，还是一个大陆停止不动而另一个从它身边漂移开去。位于地球更深层的热点提供了解决该问题的测量仪器。
From an analysis of the hot-spot population it appears that the African plate is stationary and that it has not moved during the past 30 million years.
从热点地区的人口情况分析来看，非洲板块似乎是固定的，在过去3000万年里也没有移动过。
Do we think we're shy and indecisive?
自以为害羞而优柔寡断吗？
Then our sense of timidity can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe.
那么这种恐惧感便会使我们犹豫不决，行动迟缓，而且在确保安全无虞后才前进一步。
As families move away from their stable community, their friends of many years, their extended family relationships, the informal flow of information is cut off, and with it the confidence that information will be available when needed and will be trustworthy and reliable.
随着家庭远离稳定的社区、多年的朋友。大家庭的种种关系，非正式的信息交流被切断了。同时在需要时就能得到可靠可信的信息的信心也随之丧失了。
This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made.
这些信息通过显示销售商品的种类和销售速度，使商家能够跟踪和记录它们的商品清单，然后做出决定是再定货还是把商品退给供应商。
