When a new movement in art attains a certain fashion, it is advisable to find out what its advocates are aiming at, for, however farfetched and unreasonable their principles may seem today, it is possible that in years to come they may be regarded as normal.
当一场新的艺术运动形成某种时尚时，理应弄清其倡导者的目标所在，因为无论他们的准则在今天看来是多么牵强附会、不可思议，将来都有可能被视为正常的。
With regard to Futurist poetry, however, the case is rather difficult, for whatever Futurist poetry may be — even admitting that the theory on which it is based may be right — it can hardly be classed as Literature.

Feeling threatened, companies responded by writing ever-longer warning labels, trying to anticipate every possible accident.

人们对说唱音乐的焦虑并没使他的日子变得好过。莱文一向以它是一种富于表现力的演唱方式为理由来捍卫公司的说唱音乐。

1992年公司因出品Ice-T乐队狂暴的说唱歌曲《警察杀手》后备受谴责时，莱文说这是街头文化的合法表达方式，它应该有自己的宣泄途径。
"The test of any democratic society," he wrote in a Wall Street Journal column, "lies not in how well it can control expression but in whether it gives freedom of thought and expression the widest possible latitude, however disputable or irritating the results may sometimes be.

他在《华尔街日报》一篇专栏文章中写道：“任何一个民主社会的检验不在于它能多有效地控制各种情感的表达，而在于是否给予了人们思考和表达的最广泛的自由，尽管有时这种结果会引起争论和愤怒。我们不会在任何威胁面前退却。”

Noting the rising influence of the National Front, It Seems So... warns against allowing fascism to again dominate France: " Don't wait for them to return/ Even if they don't appear armed/ Don't wait for them to return/ They 've taken four cities already. "
例如，歌词幽默风趣的《我想这可不行》谈论日常生活中的社会偏见，如一名房客被房东挡在门外，或者迪斯科舞厅的检票人把着门不让进：在夜总会的入口处，我竟成了一个白痴摆布的对象。他认为他可以对我说，啊，我想这可不行。注意到新法西斯政党民族战线党的嚣张气焰后，彻尔弗创作了歌曲《似乎……》，告诫人们：不要让法西斯重新占领法国──不要等他们回来即使他们出现时手中没有枪弹不要等他们回来他们已经占领了四座城市。

Rather, Gutman argues that one must look to the Black family and the slaves' extended kinship system to understand how crucial achievements, such as the maintenance of a cultural heritage and the development of a communal consciousness, were possible.
与此相反，古特曼指出，我们必须把眼光投向黑人家庭以及奴隶们广泛悠久的亲属体系，方能理解那些至关重要的成就，诸如文化遗产的维持以入集体意识的发展，是如何成为可能的。
Such variations in size, shape, chemistry, conduction speed, excitation threshold, and the like as had been demonstrated in nerve cells remained negligible in significance for any possible correlation with the manifold dimensions of mental experience.

It was possible to demonstrate by other methods refined structural differences among neuron types; however, proof was lacking that the quality of the impulse or its condition was influenced by these differences, which seemed instead to influence the developmental patterning of the neural circuits.
人们倒是可以通过其它方法来证明在诸神经元（neuron）种类之间，存在着细微的结构差异；但是，人们缺乏证据以证明神经冲动的性质或其传输受这些结构差异所影响。
恰恰相反，这些结构差异所影响的似乎是神经网络（neural circuit）的发展性组合排列（developmental patterning）。
It is true that a high proportion of the newly farmed land was suitable only for grazing and dry farming, but agricultural practices had become sufficiently advanced to make it possible to increase the profitability of farming by utilizing even these relatively barren lands.
诚然，很大一部分新开垦的土地仅宜于放牧和旱作，但农业手段已发展得相当进步，足以使农民即使通过利用这些相对贫脊的土地，亦可增加其农业的经济效益。
By about 1870 improvements in agricultural technology made possible the full exploitation of areas that were most suitable for extensive farming on a mechanized basis.

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.

Islamic law is a phenomenon so different from all other forms of law—notwithstanding, of course, a considerable and inevitable number of coincidences with one or the other of them as far as subject matter and positive enactments are concerned—that its study is indispensable in order to appreciate adequately the full range of possible legal phenomena.
伊斯兰法是一种如此不同于所有其它法律形式的现象——毋庸置疑，尽管就其主要内容和有积极意义的法规而言，与其它法律形式中的这种或那种形式存在着相当数量的且不可避免的巧合相似之处——以致于对它进行研究便显得不可或缺，以便充分理解有可能存在的法律现象的全部范围。
Unless they succeed, the yield gains of the Green Revolution will be largely lost even if the genes in legumes that equip those plants to enter into a symbiosis with nitrogen fixers are identified and isolated, and even if the transfer of those gene complexes, once they are found, becomes possible.

When should we charge the battery?
什么时候更换电池？
When the battery display in the LCD screen is empty or the screen is displayed with the
sign of ”Insufficient power”, or the screen is kept on flashing due\ring power on, please
replace the battery as soon as possible. As MP3 player uses lithium battery, therefore it
is possible to charge at any time.

Why file less than available space in the player can’t be downloaded into the MP3 player sometimes?
为什么有时大小小于播放机可用空间的文件不能下传到MP3 播放机中？
The memory chip in the MP3 player is divided into zones of 16KB or 32KB, a file in 1 Byte could still occupy a memory zone.
Therefore, it is possible to have file less than available space in the player but can’t be downloaded into the MP3 player.
MP3 播放机中的记忆芯片以每16KB 或32KB 作为一个记忆区域，一个1Byte 的文件都会占一个记忆区域。
所以可能看到存储量低于剩余容量的文件但不能下载到MP3 播放机中。

"The whole east of the Gulf of Mexico has basically been off-line from leasing for quite a long time. And just now people are beginning to wonder if it's time to actually go out there and at least do an assessment of what might be available for drilling."
