A person who dews not deliberately dimples of all his thoughts alike in cumbrous draperies and flimsy disguises may strike out twenty varieties of familiar everyday language , each coming somewhat nearer to the feeling he wants to convey , and at last not hit upon that particular and only one which may be said to be identical with the exact impression in his mind 一個人寫文章,只要他不是立志要把自己的真意用重重錦繡帳幔、層層多余偽裝完全遮掩起來,他總會從熟悉的日常用語中想出一二十種不同的說法,一個比一個更接近他所要表達的情感,只怕到了最后,他還會拿不定主意要用哪一種說法才能最恰如其分地表達自己的心意哩!

The wondrous shock of feeling had come like the earthquake which shook the foundations of paul and silas s prison ; it had opened the doors of the soul s cell and loosed its bands - it had wakened it out of its sleep , whence it sprang trembling , listening , aghast ; then vibrated thrice a cry on my startled ear , and in my quaking heart and through my spirit , which neither feared nor shook but exulted as if in joy over the success of one effort it had been privileged to make , independent of the cumbrous body 這驚人的震感來勢猛似地震,搖撼了保爾和西拉所在的監獄的地基,它打開了心靈的牢門,松開了鎖鏈,把心靈從沉睡中喚醒,它呆呆地顫栗著,傾聽著。隨后一聲尖叫震動了三次,沖擊著我受驚的耳朵,沉入我震顫的心田,穿透了我心靈。心靈既不害怕,也沒有震驚,而是歡喜雀躍,仿佛因為有幸不受沉重的軀體支配,作了一次成功的努力而十分高興似的。

Formerly one was obliged to travel in india by the old cumbrous methods of going on foot or on horseback , in palanquins or unwieldy coaches ; now , fast steamboats ply on the indus and the ganges , and a great railway , with branch lines joining the main line at many points on its route , traverses the peninsula from bombay to calcutta in three days . this railway does not run in a direct line across india 從前在印度旅行只靠那些古老的辦法,例如:步行騎馬坐雙輪車或獨輪車坐轎子用人馱坐馬車等等。如今在恒河與印度河上,有快速輪船航行。又有一條大鐵路橫貫整個印度,并且沿途還有支線。
