事实是这样

Reflecting on that particular day, one of the women -- Lydia Beaucoup, a well-paid copywriter for the fourth largest ad agency in San Francisco -- will describe its consequences somewhat disingenuously:''Contrary to those who think that what happened was part of a conspiracy of sexually insatiable black women bent on further dogging the brothers, it wasn't.

其中一个女子莉迪亚·宾寇普是旧金山第四大广告代理的高薪广告文案撰稿人，在回想起那个特别的日子时，会有点不太坦诚地叙述它的结果说：那些人认为后来发生的事情是个阴谋的一部分，性爱上贪求无厌的黑人女子决心要进一步紧盯着这些男人，和他们想的相反，事实不是这样的。

Dr. Gregory House, a fictional medical doctor portrayed by Hugh Laurie, is the protagonist of the television medical drama House. He is a maverick medical genius (often quoted as "medicine's most brilliant mind") who heads a team of young diagnosticians at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. He has been called a misanthrope and a curmudgeon-in fact,"curmudgeon" was named one of the top television words of the year in honor of the character.

他还被认为是个curmudgeon，实际上这个不准确，因为curmudgeon的意思是一个有着顽固观念的人，而house不论从哪方面看都不是这样一个原型，人们只注意到他坚持己见，却没注意到他的这些见解是根据事实通过严密的推断而来，并且经常用他尖锐机敏的论证揭穿他人见解之无根据及逻辑不连贯。

I do not underline my optimism, but It just is so.

我这样说，并不是要强调我的乐观，而是事实就是这样。

Father'S Day,notas is often believed invented by card companies.ac—tually originated in the USA only a little later,in—spired by Mother'S Day.

至于&父亲节&，许多人一直认为是由贺卡制造商发起的，事实并不是这样。在美国，&父亲节&的建立只略微比&母亲节&晚些，是在&母亲节&的推动下产生的。

What is remarkable about Campbell's conclusions is that, in spite of all the stylometric studies that have been conducted since his time, perhaps the only chronological fact about Plato's works that can now be said to be proven by stylometry is the fact that Critias, Timaeus, Laws, Philebus, Sophist, and Statesman are the latest of Plato's dialogues, the others earlier.

坎贝尔的结论最值得注意之处是，尽管从他那个时代所进行的所有文体学研究，但是我们现在可以说由文体学证明的有关柏拉图作品的唯一年代顺序是这样一个事实：《蒂迈欧篇》、《法律篇》、《斐利布斯篇》、《智者篇》和《政治家篇》都是柏拉图对话录中最晚的，其他的作品更早。

Is the Taj perhaps a "bundle" of universalia ante res , and does it fall under whiteness in virtue of the fact that whiteness is one of the universals that is a constituent of the bundle that it is?

是这样的吗——是泰姬陵本身就是一&堆&普遍性东西，而根据这事实（白性是这些普遍性东西之一）而说泰姬陵分有白性——？

But the fact that someone so untempted by mystical inclinations could in an important sense be sustained by what was in part a mystical relationship is emblematic of the extraordinary demands that, in extremis, patients cannot help making — demands that are as impossible for doctors to fulfill as they are impossible for patients to forgo.

但事实是有人不为神秘的倾向所引诱，可使一个重要的信念持续下去；部分是是超常要求象征性一种神秘的关系，在极端情况下，病人会做出这样的决策—由于不会放弃生的希望，从而要求医生完成不切实际的任务。

More important is the fact that this antedating approach is not possible in other cases where liability is strict and where the courts would certainly wish to convict a person who was asleep at the time he did what the law forbids, if he knew of his propensity to fall asleep.

更重要的是这样的事实，即在责任是严格的或在如果某人知道他可能入睡，法院便肯定希望对在实施法律所禁止的行为之时睡觉了的该人定罪的其他情况下，这种提前的路径[MS33] 是行不通的。

This investigation has led to my having many enemies of the worst and most dangerous kind, and has given occasion also to many calumnies, and I am called wise, for my hearers always imagine that I myself possess the wisdom which I find wanting in others: but the truth is, O men of Athens, that God only is wise; and in this oracle he means to say that the wisdom of men is little or nothing; he is not speaking of Socrates, he is only using my name as an illustration, as if he said, He, O men, is the wisest, who, like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing.

这个调查致使我结交了很多危险的敌人，也使我有时遭受很多的灾难，同时我被称之为有智慧，所以我的听众经常想象我拥有我希望在别人那里找到的智慧：但事实是，雅典的人们，唯有神才是有智慧的；那个预言他是要告诉我们人类的智慧是微不足道，他不是在说我苏格拉底，他只是用我的名字来做一个演示，正象他所说，象苏格拉底这样知道他自己拥有的智慧微不足道的人才是最有智慧的。

For the past decade, Tzu Chi volunteer Li Bizhen has been getting up before 3 o'clock in the morning to begin her daily job of street-sweeping.

过去十年，李碧真每天都在清晨3点之前起床，开始扫街的工作，你可能会认为她的生活应该不怎麼好过才要这样赚辛苦钱，不过事实并不是这样，这个工作让她实现了梦想，就是捐三百万台币给慈济。
