亲戚

Brack Obama's first book, Dreams from My Father, begins with the story of a telephone call form a relative in Kenya who told Obama, then twenty-one years old, that his father had been killed in a car accident.

奥巴马的第一本书---《来自父亲的梦想》，是以一个来自肯尼亚亲戚的电话开始的，亲戚在电话里告诉二十一岁的奥巴马，他的父亲在一场交通事故中去世了。

The more relatives he has, the more numerous his connections, the more honoured is his old age; nor are there any advantages in childlessness.

一个人拥有越多亲戚，亲戚关系越庞杂，其晚年地位就越高。无儿无女没有任何的好处。

Respect your mother and father in-law as you have respected me and your father.

母亲又说：「你去到新家，对待你的夫家亲戚，要像对待自己的亲戚一样；尊敬你的公婆，就像你尊敬我和你父亲一样，尊重你的先生就像他是这个地球上唯一的上帝、朋友和保护者，是你最爱、最尊敬的人。

It took infernally long to negotiate through relatives who were, furthermore, unreliable transmitters of harsh words, being peacemakers at heart, especially where matrimony was concerned.

托亲戚办交涉，向来是耽误时候，而且亲戚代人传话，只能传好话，决裂的话由他们转达是靠不住的，因为大家都以和事佬自居，尤其事关婚姻。

Given the pettiness of recent intraparty squabbling, in particular Clinton's own behavior in the primaries, the speech was a reminder of his astonishing political skill. Despite what he must feel, Clinton was convincingly magnanimous-downright effusive-toward Obama and Joe Biden. My instant impressions:* Clinton rendered moot this week's spat over whether he should address national security or economics. He tackled each of them, and transcended both.

之前的几个环节是亲戚朋友为新郎新娘往手腕上编红绳、然后新郎新娘头戴心形状的花环代表永结同心、最后新郎新娘额头点白点代表成家，所有的亲戚朋友逐一和新娘新郎照相，照相的时候不是父母坐中间，而是新郎新娘坐中间，父母站在后面，等和朋友照相的时候，则是朋友做中间，他们站到后面，不知道为什么。

But he said kinsfolk was kinsfolk, and promises was promises, so he'd go for a day or so, and then it would be over.

可是他说亲戚到底是亲戚，既然答应了去，就只能去一趟，住上一两天也就算了。

A relative by blood or marriage;a kinsman or kinswoman.

亲戚因血缘关系或婚姻关系而成的亲戚；男亲戚或女亲戚

He remembered a story--a morbid, hideous, yet delicious story, which had once pleasantly congealed his blood on a social winter's evening--the story of a man, a monomaniac, perhaps, who had been haunted at every turn by the image of an unburied kinsman who could not rest in his unhallowed hiding-place.

他记起了一个故事——一个可怕的、骇人听闻的、然而津津有味的故事，在一个冬日黄昏的社交场合，这个故事曾使他的血都愉快地冻结起来了——这是一个人，也许是一个患偏执狂的疯子的故事，他在每一个转角上都要受到一个未曾安葬的亲戚的鬼影的骚扰，原来这亲戚在那亵渎神明的藏身之地里不能安息。

She had, it seems, a Parsee relation, who was one of the principal merchants of Hong Kong, which is wholly an English city, though on an island on the Chinese coast.

正好她有一个亲戚住在香港，这个亲戚也是帕西人，他是香港的一个大商人，香港虽然是在中国海岸上，但却是一座道地的英国化的城市。

These sea squirts, though alien in appearance, are chordates and thus close relatives to not only Homo sapiens but also about 17,000 kinds of fish; 70 or so species of dolphins, whales, seals, sea lions and otters; some 10 kinds of sea turtles; and about 80 kinds of sea snakes.

这些海鞘，尽管看起来很怪异，但却是脊索动物因此不仅仅和现代智人是亲戚，而且也是17，000 种鱼的亲戚； 70种海豚，鲸鱼，海狮和水獭的亲戚； 10种海龟的亲戚； 80种海蛇的亲戚。
