It was a subject of regret and absurd as well on the face of it and no small blame to our vaunted society that the man in the street , when the system really needed toning up , for a matter of a couple of paltry pounds , was debarred from seeing more of the world they lived in instead of being always cooped up since my old stick - in - the - mud took me for a wife 正當普通市民確實需要加強體質的時候,由于舍不得區區兩三英鎊,就不去看看自己所生活在其中的大千世界。這位老古板自從娶了老婆,就一直關在家里。真是令人遺憾,一望可知是很荒唐的事,這在相當程度上要歸罪于我們這個自負的社會,不管怎么說,真是豈有此理。

All kings occupying the earth in the kali age will be wanting in tranquillity , strong in anger , taking pleasure at all times in lying and dishonesty , inflicting death on women , children , and cows , prone to take the paltry possessions of others , with character that is mostly vial , rising to power and soon falling 在卡利年代,所有占領土地的國王都欠缺寧靜,強烈地憤怒,以說慌和欺詐為樂,造成婦女,兒童,牛只的死亡,傾于占有其它人微不足道的財物,主要是小人的特征,加強權力,卻很快又倒臺。

Mourners who trek through a muddy field have left only paltry offerings at ta mok ' s tomb : a clump of burned - out incense sticks , five plastic cups of water , a black oil lamp whose flame has died and a roll of toilet paper that people here say is to wipe his mouth when he has consumed any food that is left for his wandering soul 走過泥濘的道路前來向塔莫致意的人們在他墓前留下的供品相當寒酸:一束燒完的香、五杯清水、一盞火已經熄滅的黑色油燈和一?衛生紙?當地人說,這是為了讓他在嘗過人們留下的祭品之后可以用來擦嘴。

The works of the eulogists of the bourgeoisie are not necessarily great , nor are the works of those who show that the bourgeoisie is dark necessarily paltry ; the works of the eulogists of the proletariat are not necessarily not great , but the works of those who depict the so - called “ darkness “ of the proletariat are bound to be paltry - - are these not facts of history as regards literature and art 歌頌資產階級光明者其作品未必偉大,刻畫資產階級黑暗者其作品未必渺小,歌頌無產階級光明者其作品未必不偉大,刻畫無產階級所謂“黑暗”者其作品必定渺小,這難道不是文藝史上的事實嗎?

I am thinking of the women who for a paltry wage are compelled to work out their barren lives ; of the little children who in this system are robbed of their childhood and in their tender years are seized in the remorseless grasp of mammon and forced into the industrial dungeons , there to feed the monster machines while they themselves are being starved and stunted , body and soul 我想到為微薄的工資被迫出賣勞力的婦女;想到那些在這個制度下被剝奪了童年,小小年紀便落入貪婪之神殘酷魔掌的孩子們,他們被驅入工業牢籠成為機器怪獸的食物,心靈和肉體受盡折磨。

When fate wronged me , i had not the wisdom to remain cool : i turned desperate ; then i degenerated . now , when any vicious simpleton excites my disgust by his paltry ribaldry , i cannot flatter myself that i am better than he : i am forced to confess that he and i are on a level 當命運虧待了我時,我沒有明智地保持冷靜,我開始絕望,隨后墜落了,現在要是一個可惡的傻瓜用卑俗的下流話激起我的厭惡,我并不以為我的表現會比他好些,我不得不承認我與他彼此彼此而已。

Opponents say mines often pollute nearby rivers and seas , damaging the livelihoods of farmers and fishermen ; and local communities ' rewards for running such risks are paltry , because most tax revenues from mining go to distant national capitals , and the profits disappear abroad 反對者認為,采礦常常污染周邊河流及海域,因此將危及農民和漁夫的生計;比起對當地居民的回報,冒如此風險是得不償失的,因為大部分的稅收收入將交予政府,同時利潤流向了國外。
