棍棒，影子，井中的倒影，太阳的位置；这每日都在眼前出现的事物，有可能传递什麼重要的讯息呢但Eratosthenes是个科学家，他在平凡事务上的沉思改变了这个世界；或者可说，他的沉思造就了这个世界。

In order to avoid the inconveniency of such situations, every prudent man in every period of society, after the first establishment of the division of labour, must naturally have endeavoured to manage his affairs in such a manner, as to have at all times by him, besides the peculiar produce of his own industry, a certain quantity of some one commodity or other, such as he imagined few people would be likely to refuse in exchange for the produce of their industry.

因此，他们就不能互相提供服务。为了避免此类情况所带来的不便，分工被采用后各时代中的每个谨慎的人都会尽力以如下方式管理自己的事物：除自己行业的特殊产品之外，总是持有一定数量的某种物品，在他看来，用这种物品和任何人交换都不大可能遭到拒绝。

As Yonson Ahn perceptively observes, self-concepts of pure difference between Chineseness and Koreanness at the present time appear to exclude creolized and multiple narratives of history within the border regions.

正如Yonson Ahn 所敏锐认识到的那样，"当前对"中国的"与"韩国的事物截然不同的自我意识似乎在朝鲜半岛国家中排斥了对历史的克里欧化和多重表述的可能。

But if they have taught themselves to look for indirect as well as direct consequences they can once more see in the eye of imagination the possibilities that have never been allowed to come into existence. They can see the unbuilt homes, the unmade cars and radios, the unmade dresses and coats, perhaps the unsold and ungrown foodstuffs.

但是如果教会他们要看到事物的直接和间接影响，他们又能够看到那些从不被允许成为现实的可能的影像，他们能够看到未建设的家园、未生产的汽车和收音机、未缝制的服装，或者未售出的食品和未生长的粮食。

In the long term, the amoebae can, among other things, form enormous cysts in the liver and other organs, which sometimes may only be discovered on investigation by a doctor for other conditions such as unexplained weight loss or illness.

There weren't, apparently, all counted, more than a dozen little old things that had succeeded in coming to pass between them; trivialities of youth, simplicities of freshness, stupidities of ignorance, small possible germs, but too deeply buried—too deeply didn't it seem?

那里是不，显然地，全部计算，超过一件已经在～中成功到达的一打小旧的事物在他们之间经过；年轻人的琐事，新的单纯，无知的愚蠢，小的可能细菌，但是太深深地太深深地埋葬—它没有像是吗？

As Yonson Ahn perceptively observes, self-concepts of pure difference between Chineseness and Koreanness at the present time appear to exclude creolized and multiple narratives of history within the border regions.

It may be that some of the terms thus related have no special name of their own, but for all that they will be metaphorically described in just the same way. Thus to cast forth seed-corn is called 'sowing'; but to cast forth its flame, as said of the sun, has no special name. This nameless act, however, stands in just the same relation to its object, sunlight, as sowing to the seed-corn. Hence the expression in the poet,'sowing around a god-created _flame_'.

还有这样一种可能，有一些有如此关联的事物却没有自身独特的名称，它们也可以以同样的方式通过隐喻被描述，比如播撒谷物的种子被称为&播种&，但太阳散发光辉并没有特别的词汇，但这一无名称的行为与其对象光线的关系与播种与其对象谷物种子的关系类似，因此在诗中可作如下表达：&四下播撒神创造的光辉&。
