In their own right, these are the leading tenors of the operatic stage today;
他们是当今歌剧舞台当之无愧的顶尖男高音；
together, they are a group which joined for a special occasion, and have since become an institution.
自他们在一个特别的场合走到一起组合起来后，这就成为了一个惯例。
While each of them individually sings opera arias and popular songs from shows like South Pacific or My Fair Lady or Italian ballads, the climax when these great tenor voices sing together is a thrilling sound that few other musical occasions can match.
他们每个人都分别演唱了歌剧咏叹调和像《南太平洋》、《我漂亮的女士》以及意大利情歌中的一些流行曲目。演出的高潮是三大男高音的同声歌唱，他们的歌声激昂，振奋人心，无与伦比。
Each of them realises their voices can last only so long( although Pavarotti points out that his 86-year-old father still sings regularly in church in his Italian village), and while they can they will continue to appear on special occasions as the Three Tenors.
他们每个人都意识到了他们的声音只能持续这么长时间（虽然帕瓦罗蒂指出他 86岁的父亲还经常在意大利小村子的教堂里演唱），在还可以演唱的时候，他们会继续在特别的场合上以三大男高音的组合出现。

But on other occasions Hardy abandoned a perilous, risky, and highly energizing impulse in favor of what was for him the fatally relaxing impulse to classify and schematize abstractly.
但在其它场合，哈代会抛弃一种充满风险的、冒险的、和极能赋予作品以生机活力的创造冲动，转而偏爱那种对他来说甚为致命的、松散的创作冲动，去抽明地进行分类和按先验图式表述。
"The State of the Union is one of those events that have symbolic importance for the country. It is an occasion of pomp and tradition. It involves a nationally televised audience.

在华盛顿布鲁克林协会的政治分析家托马斯.曼恩对VOA电视台说："国情咨文是那些对国家有重要象征意义的事件之一，它是一个既传统又盛大的场合。全国的电视观众都可以收看到，它是总统试图形成政策制定议程的一个机会，来影响公众意见。"
CHANGE YOUR OWN WAY
Few people are randomly violent. They blow up on particular occasions over particular issues. Track your boss's peeves and patterns, then eliminate the triggers within your control. For example, if he snarls when you arrive just five minutes late to work or make one typo on a memo, avoid these slipups no matter how trivial they seem. If one of your coworkers manages your boss's moods skillfully, ask him what you could be doing more effectively, then borrow a few of his moves.
改变你自己的办事方式
很少有人是随意发火的。他们一般是在特定场合因特定的事而发作的。你要摸清你的老板的脾气，并尽可能消除隐患。比如，他为了你上班仅迟到5分钟或打错了一个字便大发雷霆，那么你就要尽量避免这类疏忽，不论它们看起来多么微不足道。如果你的某位同事善于应付老板的情绪，那你就向他请教一下你怎么做才能更为有效，不妨借用他的一些手段。
