惊人
Astonishing
All that we know is astonishing. Even more astonishing is what passes for knowing.
我们所知道的一切都是惊人的。更令人惊讶的是,这些被认为是已知的东西。
It is astonishing with how little wisdom mankind can be governed, when that little wisdom is its own.
令人惊讶的是,人类的智慧是如此之少,而这些智慧却属于人类自己。
The implication that everyone would have to accept its judgments uncritically, that it was a decision from which there could be no appeal, was astonishing.
这意味着每个人都必须不加批判地接受它的判断,这是一个不可能上诉的决定,这令人震惊。
It seems astonishing to be paid for indulging in pure pleasure. For me to go to Coburg is rather as if a trainspotter was sent for a few weeks to Swindon or a chocoholic asked on holiday by Green and Black.
沉溺于纯粹的快乐而得到报酬,这似乎令人吃惊。对我来说,去科堡就像一个火车观察员被派到斯文顿待了几个星期,或者格林和布莱克在度假时邀请我去吃巧克力。
