A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
口音
Accent
Now between the meanings of words and their sounds there is ordinarily no discoverable relation except one of accident; and it is therefore miraculous, to the mystic, when words which make sense can also make a uniform objective structure of accents and rhymes.
在词的意义和它们的声音之间通常没有发现任何关系,除了偶然的关系;因此,对于神秘主义者来说,当有意义的词语也可以构成一个统一的客观的重音和韵律结构时,这是不可思议的。
Many of the technologies that are now racing ahead most rapidly, replacing human workers in factories and offices with machines, making stockholders richer and workers poorer, are indeed tending to accentuate the existing inequalities in the distribution of wealth.

But on average, I go to the gym about four or five times a week. Today, I'm so experienced in training - I'm actually listening to my body now. My body needs freedom. When I train I create serenity and I produce oxygen in my blood. It helps me to think better and relax. By training, you accentuate the problem.
但是平均来说,我一周去健身房四五次。今天,我在训练方面很有经验——我现在真的在倾听我的身体。我的身体需要自由。当我训练时,我创造宁静,我的血液中产生氧气。它帮助我更好地思考和放松。通过培训,你会强调这个问题。

Unlike most other children, - especially unlike those of today - who are eager to become men and women as speedily as possible, I had a terror of growing up, which became more and more accentuated as I grew older.
