A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
条件
Condition
The main consideration with those who, possessing some capital, propose to emigrate as the means of improving their condition, is, the society likely to be found in the land fixed on for their future residence.
对于那些拥有一些资本，打算移民以改善其生活条件的人来说，主要考虑的是在他们未来居住的土地上可能找到社会。
You can learn all about the human condition from covering the crime beat in a big city - you don't need to go to Beirut for that - but a foreign correspondent begins to understand poverty from a different perspective.
你可以从报道大城市的犯罪现场了解到人类的所有状况——你不需要去贝鲁特报道——但一名外国记者开始从一个不同的角度理解贫困。
Under normal conditions the research scientist is not an innovator but a solver of puzzles, and the puzzles upon which he concentrates are just those which he believes can be both stated and solved within the existing scientific tradition.
在正常情况下，研究科学家不是创新者，而是解谜者，而他所关注的谜题恰恰是那些他认为可以在现有的科学传统中陈述和解决的谜题。
No society has been able to abolish human sadness, no political system can deliver us from the pain of living, from our fear of death, our thirst for the absolute. It is the human condition that directs the social condition, not vice versa.
没有一个社会能够消除人类的悲伤，没有一个政治制度能够把我们从生活的痛苦、对死亡的恐惧和对绝对的渴望中解救出来。是人的条件决定了社会的条件，而不是社会条件决定人的条件。
I protest that if some great Power would agree to make me always think what is true and do what is right, on condition of being turned into a sort of clock and would up every morning before I got out of bed, I should instantly close with the offer.
我抗议说，如果某个大国愿意让我永远思考什么是真的，做什么是对的，条件是把我变成一种时钟，每天早上在我起床之前就起床，那么我就应该立刻结束这个提议。
Of course the word chaos is used in rather a vague sense by a lot of writers, but in physics it means a particular phenomenon, namely that in a nonlinear system the outcome is often indefinitely, arbitrarily sensitive to tiny changes in the initial condition.
当然，“混沌”这个词在很多作家的作品中都有相当模糊的含义，但在物理学中，它指的是一种特殊的现象，即在非线性系统中，结果往往是不确定的，对初始条件的微小变化非常敏感。
The doctor told Phil, my then husband, that my condition was really bad news. They had found an artery tearing and said I could die. They said they could try to patch it up but it could go horribly wrong. It all turned out okay in the end but it was touch and go.
医生告诉菲尔，我当时的丈夫，我的病情确实是个坏消息。他们发现一条动脉撕裂，说我可能会死。他们说他们可以试着修补，但可能会出现严重的错误。最后一切都很顺利，但也只是碰碰运气。
The writers are writing human beings, and they're writing about the human condition and how difficult it is to function in that condition. I think it's one of the charms of the show, the idea of redemption and working towards becoming better people, for everybody involved.
作者写的是人，他们写的是人的状况以及在那种情况下如何运作。我认为这是这个节目的魅力之一，救赎的理念，努力成为更好的人，对每个参与其中的人。
