查询词典 had rather

The art of fiction, as Jane Austen knew it, declined from her through Scott, and Bulwer, and Dickens, and Charlotte Bronte, and Thackeray, and even George Eliot, because the mania of romanticism had seized upon all Europe, and these great writers could not escape the taint of their time; but it has shown few signs of recovery in England, because English criticism, in the presence of the Continental masterpieces, has continued provincial and special and personal, and has expressed a love and a hate which had to do with the quality of the artist rather than the character of his work.

jane的小说技巧，在她之后就开始没落了，Scott， and Bulwer， and Dickens， and Charlotte Bronte， and Thackeray， and even George Eliot(这些都是Jane之后的作家，你可以在金山上查到详细的资料)都没怎么采用她的风格，因为欧洲人骨子里有着狂热的浪漫主义，而这些伟大的作家也没有能够摆脱他们时代的感染。在英国，也没有什么恢复的迹象，面对着欧洲大陆上的伟大作品，英国的评论依然本土化，特殊化，个人化，他们对于作家表现出了强烈的爱，憎，而不是对于他们的作品人物。

The irrepressible Bloom, who also had a shrewd suspicion that the old stager went out on a manoeuvre after the counterattraction in the shape of a female who however had disappeared to all intents and purposes, could by straining just perceive him, when duly refreshed by his rum puncheon exploit, gaping up at the piers and girders of the Loop line rather out of his depth as of course it was all radically altered since his last visit and greatly improved.

布卢姆简直克制不住自己了。他机警地怀疑，这个老手兴许是被女人这一对抗物所吸引而出去做了一番军事演习的。然而这时那个女人实际上早已消失得无影无踪了。他定睛一看，才勉强辨认出那个灌了一肚子朗姆酒、精神随之而振的水手，正毋宁说是出神地仰望着环行线的陆桥桥墩和纵梁。当然自从他最后一次踏访，这里已大大地改建，面目一新了。

While his father and mother had written a rather sad letter,deploring his precipitancy in rushing into marriage,but making the best of the matter by saying that,though a dairywoman was the last daughter-in-law they could have expected,their son had arrived at an age at which he might be supposed to be the best judge.

父母倒是有信，不过信上写的，未免叫人听着不受用，只埋怨他，说他不该这样急不能待地就结婚；但是事情既是没法更改了，他们又说，虽然万没有想到，会娶一个挤牛奶的女孩做儿媳妇，但是儿子已经长大了，也许自己明白是非好歹了，当爹妈的也就不用跟着瞎操心了，用此自遣。

民粹主义这种本质上主张走俄罗斯独特道路的认识，是要把西方最先进的理想即社会主义理想与自身的优势村社这一基础结合起来，在资本主义已产生于西方而又暴露其弊病的情况下，使俄罗斯走出一条不同于西方模式的跨越资本主义之路。

Adjoyning to this I had my Enclosures for my Cattle, that is to say, my Goats: And as I had taken an inconceivable deal of Pains to fence and enclose this Ground, so I was so uneasy to see it kept entire, lest the Goats should break thro', that I never left off till with infinite Labour I had stuck the Out-side of the Hedge so full of small Stakes, and so near to one another, that it was rather a Pale than a Hedge, and there was scarce Room to put a Hand thro' between them, which afterwards when those Stakes grew, as they all did in the next rainy Season, made the Enclosure strong like a Wall, indeed stronger than any Wall.

与别墅毗邻的是我的圈地，里面放养着山羊。当初，为了圈这块地，我曾历尽艰辛。我竭尽全力，把篱笆做得十分严密，免得圈在里面的山羊逃出去。我不遗余力，辛勤劳作，在篱笆外插满了小木桩，而且插得又密又多，样子不像篱墙，倒像是一个栅栏；在木桩与木桩之间，连手都插不进去。后来，在第三个雨季中，这些小木桩都长大了，成了一堵坚固的围墙，甚至比围墙还坚固。

On returning to my room I found the wet patch had grown even larger and I had 2 rather old looking complimentary satsumas and an apple on the desk with a note from the manager apologising for the problem but that it had now been fixed!
