Apparent
Like most misery, it started with apparent happiness.

We see past time in a telescope and present time in a microscope. Hence the apparent enormities of the present.
我们用望远镜看过去,用显微镜看现在。因此,目前的情况显然是极其恶劣的。
Adulthood is the ever-shrinking period between childhood and old age. It is the apparent aim of modern industrial societies to reduce this period to a minimum.
成年期是童年和老年之间不断缩小的时期。现代工业社会的明显目标是把这段时期减少到最低限度。
There is poetry even in prose, in all the great prose which is not merely utilitarian or didactic: there exist poets who write in prose or at least in more or less apparent prose; millions of poets write verses which have no connection with poetry.
甚至在散文中也有诗歌,在所有伟大的散文中,不仅仅是功利主义的或说教的,也有诗人用散文写作,或至少用或多或少明显的散文;数以百万计的诗人写的诗与诗歌无关。
As the son of a feminist mother, I grew up with the idea that work was a sort of salvation for women as it would give them freedom from the domestic grind. Now it seems work is a form of slavery, undertaken out of apparent compulsion rather than choice.
作为一个女权主义者母亲的儿子,我从小就有这样的想法:工作对女性来说是一种救赎,因为它能让她们从家务中解放出来。现在看来,工作是奴役的一种形式,是出于明显的强迫而不是选择。
