不精明的

Amazingly, the dank rooms, dodgy landlords and recalcitrant plumbing that the show epitomised are still recalled with misty-eyed affection by thirtysomethings who would now sooner forgo the annual family holiday in Tuscany than share a bathroom with friends.

让人惊讶的是，这个节目刻画的阴冷潮湿的房间、精明油滑的房东和不听使唤的水管子，仍然能让三十几岁的人眼泪汪汪地回忆起过去。现在，他们能痛痛快快地放弃跟家人在意大利托斯卡纳度年假的机会、去跟朋友们共用一间浴室。

If recent news reports are accurate, these ranker forms of corruption have not gone away entirely; apparently there are still those in Washington who view politics as a means of getting rich, and who, while generally not dumb enough to accept bags of small bills, are perfectly prepared to take care of contributors and properly feather their beds until the time is finally ripe to jump into the lucrative practice of lobbying on behalf of those they once regulated.

如果现如今的新闻报道是属实的，这种贪污腐败的方式还是部分地存在着，明显地，在华府还有一些人将政治视为发财的手段，他们一般都很精明，不会接受一些蝇头小利，能够极佳地利用捐赠人，并且适当地作些铺垫，直到时机成熟时，就即刻代表他们曾经管辖过的利益方进行游说，最终获利。

However, now the school education so seriously neglects all-round development of students that students take one-side development which causes students to set life at naught.

然而，目前重视实用的教育体系只教会学生如何活下去的方法，却不与学生探索生命的意义和目的，使学生生存手段非常精明，而对于生活的意义和目的却懵懂无知。

Little crude. The more sedate and older sections of the Southlooked down their noses at the up-country Georgians, but here innorth Georgia, a lack of the niceties of classical education

南部开化得较早的文静居民不逊内地佐治亚人，可在北佐亚这儿，人们并不以缺乏高雅的传统文化教育为耻，只要在那些在他们认为重要的事情上学得精明就行了。

The more sedate and older sections of the Southlooked down their noses at the up-country Georgians, but here innorth Georgia, a lack of the niceties of classical educationcarried no shame, provided a man was smart in the things thatmattered.

南部开化得较早的文静居民不逊内地佐治亚人，可在北佐亚这儿，人们并不以缺乏高雅的传统文化教育为耻，只要在那些在他们认为重要的事情上学得精明就行了。

I think he's learned how to approach hitters....

Johhny Damon说，『他已是最好的了，再没有人能够比他做的更好，我想他的球技已经完全成熟了，而且他也已经学会了如何去对付和压迫各种打击者。。。。。。

In effect, an 18 foot King Cobra could actually look down onto the average human being.

际上，一个18尺眼镜蛇王其实可以俯视到的平均人。
