A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
文明
Civilized
The simultaneous reactions elicited all over the world by the reading of newspaper dispatches about the same events create, as it were, a common mental pulse beat for the whole of civilized mankind.
阅读有关同一事件的新闻报道在全世界引起的同时的反应,可以说,为整个文明人类创造了共同的精神脉搏。
Under the ominous shadow which the second World War and its attendant circumstances have cast on the world, peace has become as essential to civilized existence as the air we breathe is to life itself.
在第二次世界大战及其所伴随的情况给世界带来的不祥阴影下,和平已成为文明生存的必要条件,正如我们呼吸的空气对生命本身一样。
Yet, upon the whole, the space I traversed is unlikely to become the haunt of civilized man, or will only become so in isolated spots, as a chain of connection to a more fertile country; if such a country exist to the westward.
然而,总的来说,我所走过的这片土地不太可能成为文明人常去的地方,或者只会成为一个孤立的地方,作为与一个更富饶的国家连接的纽带;如果这样一个国家存在于西部。
The very concept of history implies the scholar and the reader. Without a generation of civilized people to study history, to preserve its records, to absorb its lessons and relate them to its own problems, history, too, would lose its meaning.
历史的概念本身就意味着学者和读者。如果没有一代文明人来研究历史,保存历史记录,吸取历史教训,并把它们与自身的问题联系起来,历史也将失去其意义。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
There is a requirement to ensure the withdrawal takes place in a civilized manner. We will be able to show the world we deserve independence and freedom.
有一项要求是确保撤离以文明的方式进行。我们将能够向世界表明,我们值得独立和自由。
Television is not vulgar because people are vulgar; it is vulgar because people are similar in their prurient interests and sharply differentiated in their civilized concerns.
电视并不因为人们粗俗而粗俗;这是粗俗的,因为人们在他们的好色的利益上是相似的,在他们的文明的关注上是截然不同的。
This will never be a civilized country until we spend more money for books than we do for chewing gum.
除非我们买书的钱比买口香糖的钱还多,否则我们永远不会成为一个文明的国家。
Free and civilized societies do not hold prisoners incommunicado.
自由文明的社会不会孤立地关押囚犯。
I expect that Woman will be the last thing civilized by Man.
