与其...不如

There are ways to recover the general again: you are but now cast in his mood, a punishment more in policy than in malice, even so as one would beat his offenceless dog to affright an imperious lion: sue to him again, and he's yours.

你现在不过一时遭逢他的恼怒；他给你的这一种处分，与其说是表示对你的不满，还不如说是遮掩世人耳目的政策，正像有人为了吓退一头凶恶的狮子而故意鞭打他的驯良的狗一样。你只要向他恳求恳求，他一定会回心转意的。

Europe has for the easy-going peoples of Southeast Asian tropical countries, the sense of alienness and caution which it feels for the Chinese-cultural-sphere countries of northeastern Asia makes it difficult for us to contemplate relations between the European and Asian domains employing a one-sided

是完全基於两岸关系或是一个中国的认定决策所影响的话，恐嫌过分本位化了一些。相较於美国，由於欧洲、东亚洲之间的距离遥远，以及双方保守的传统本质，其实双方对彼此的兴趣与野心都是被动多於主动，与其贸然前进不如多加观察。

However,"JueLanCaiWei" still conveys a multiple meaning more extensive than "Absorption" in terms of learning or studying. Zubin's paintings tell what is regarded by him as an empirical or traditional existence has formed a kind of rhetoric to his paintings, for example, a restrained cynicism of the Ming and Qing Dynasty and even the times of the Republic of China or some conceits conjured upon a primitive thinking mode. No matter which it may be, the understanding of "symbolism" and "allegory" frankly shown by Zubin himself is more his interest in some particular drawing method than the outcome of "plucking" the fruitful tradition. Although he delightfully demonstrates an impressive charm of the traditional language indeed, the symbolic or allegoric meaning of his paintings depends not on the language itself but on some inexpressible secrets in his view of life by means of images.

不过， 作为学习立场的表述，"嚼兰采薇"依旧隐约传达出比"吸收"更大的多义性，祖斌的画作证实：那些被他视作经验或传统的存在，已然构成自己作品图式的某些修辞，譬如一种婉约的明清甚至民国时代的玩世情调，或者部分以原始思维模式臆造的奇思妙想，但无论前者或后者，祖斌所坦言的关于"象征"和"寓意"的理解与其说是他咀嚼或采摘的结果，不如说是他感兴趣的图绘手法，尽管他的确津津有味地在作品中展示了那些令人回味的有关传统语汇的魅力，但其作品的象征性和寓意并不取决于语汇自身所指，而是用图像看待生活时许多令他自己也欲辩难言的隐秘所在。

It is more important to allocate money for immediate, existing social

Our survey seriously undermines the credibility of Haeckel's drawings, which depicts not a conserved stage for vertebrates, but a stylised amniote embryo.

我们的研究严重削弱了海克尔图形的可信性，海克尔图形与其说是显示脊椎动物胚胎发育过程中一个相似时期，不如说是按固定程式设计的胚胎。

And then, thinking back over the years, she said amusingly, more to herself than to her questioners:"I loved those boys."

Russia's current anti-Americanism, therefore, is less a reaction to America's actions than a reflection of its own state of mind.

苏：我到很多国家拍戏，和韩日导演都有合作过，最大的体会时，他们很敬业，体制完善，电视剧制作很精良，投入非常大，而且还有国家投资机制，这些差距都是现实，也是需要中国影视人学习和努力的，不是开一个会能解决的，现在娱乐界全球化程度非常高，有句话叫"堵不如疏"，与其联合起来抵制，不如自我反省，寻求发展。
