四旬斋

At this period, after his long fast, the toad has a very spiritual look, like a strict Anglo-Catholic towards the end of Lent.

这个阶段的蟾蜍，在经历了他漫长的禁食期之后，形态上具有相当程度的宗教色彩，恰似一位行将完成四旬斋的虔诚的国教教徒[译注1]。

The genus Helleborus includes plants that are commonly called "Christmas rose" and "Lenten rose".

铁筷子属包括通常被称之为"圣诞节玫瑰"和"四旬斋玫瑰"的植物。

On Mardi Gras, before dawn, the Gilles get ready for the great ceremony of this day of collective effusiveness.

四旬斋前的最后一个星期二，天亮之前，"吉乐"们就要开始为接下来一整天的集体大狂欢做准备。

Could you tell me something about Mardi Gras?

能给我介绍一下四旬斋前的狂欢节吗？

During the 1600's, England celebrated a day called Mothering Sunday? celebrated on the 4th Sunday of Lent .

大约在17世纪的时候，英国把四旬斋的第四个星期天叫做"拜望双亲日"。

For we are told by a grave Author 16 an eminent French physician, that Fish being a prolific Diet, there are more Children born in Roman Catholic Countries about nine Months after Lent, than at any other Season; therefore reckoning a Year after Lent, the Markets will be more glutted than usual, because the Number of Popish Infants, is at least three to one in this Kingdom; and therefore it will have one other Collateral advantage by lessening the Number of Papists among us.

一位严肃的作家——著名的法国内科医生告诉我们，由于鱼是促进生育的食物，在信仰罗马天主教国家里，出生在四旬斋后九个月后的孩子要比别的时节多。因此估计四旬节过后一年，市场上婴儿肉的供应将比平常充足，因为这个王国里天主教婴儿的数量至少是三比一。所以这个方案还有一个附带的好处，就是可以减少天主教婴儿的数量。

Brother Giles was once staying in Rome, at the house of a Cardinal, when Lent was drawing near; and being unable there to enjoy the quiet of mind which he desired, he said to the Cardinal:"My Father, I pray you give me permission to go with my companion to spend this Lent in some solitary place"; and the Cardinal answered him: Alas!

有一次，Giles弟兄在罗马的一个红衣主教的家里。当四旬斋将近的时候，他不能享受他所渴望的精神上的安静；于是，他对主教说："我的神父，我恳求您允许我和我的同伴去一个安静的地方度过四旬斋。"

Mardi Gras is always 47 days before Easter Sunday.

四旬斋前的狂欢节就是比复活节的第前四十七天。

More like the modern celebration of Mother's Day is England's "Mothering Sunday", also called Mid-Lent Sunday, observed on the fourth Sunday in Lent.

与现代庆祝母亲节方式更为相似的是英国的&拜望双亲日&，亦称为中－四旬斋星期日，为四旬斋的第四个星期日。

During the 1600's, England celebrated a day called Mothering Sunday? celebrated on the 4th Sunday of Lent .

大约在17世纪的时候，英国把四旬斋的第四个星期天叫做&拜望双亲日&。

I use an example quoted by Hu Jiaqi:"It is reported that America separates the DNA of a kind of virus by making use of genetic technology and combines it with another kind of DNA. Finally, they get a kind of virulent biological agent called a "pyrotoxin". Someone discloses in private that 20 grams of such a kind of biological agent could result in the global death of 6 billion people due to infection."

我在这里例举胡家奇所引用过的例子："据报道，美国利用转基因技术，将一种病毒的DNA分离出来，与另外一种DNA进行结合，拼结成一种剧毒的"热毒素"生物战剂，且私下有人透露，这种生物战剂只需20克，就可以导致全球60亿人全部感染死亡。"
