抽身

Despite your protestations, you haven't really resigned yourself to this situation.

尽管你假装得很好，但你不想从这件事抽身。

But (and I may be rationalising here) I found something presumptuous about the idea I could swoop in from my comfortable life and sort out these women's financial woes.

但是我发现了这一想法的自以为是之处：我从舒适的生活中抽身出来挖掘这些妇女们财政的悲哀。

They still love its verdant valleys, its murmuring rivers, its magnificent mountains, sequestered vales and verdant lined lakes and bays, and ever yearn in tender, fond affection over the lonely hearted living, and often return from the Happy Hunting Ground to visit, guide, console and comfort them.

他们依旧留恋那碧绿的山谷，潺潺的流水，巍巍的丛山，与世隔绝的溪谷，镶着翠绿堤岸的湖泊和海湾。他们甚至柔情脉脉地思慕那些仍然活在世间的心中寂寞的人们，常常从欢乐的狩猎场抽身回来探望、指引、抚问和安慰他们。

Barred from their homes just a few kilometres over the border, but stigmatised in Israel where the Jews look down on them as Arabs and the Arabs despise them as traitors, their horizons and ambitions are shrunken.

当以色列于2000年几乎一夜之间抽身离去时，这些人只得逃亡以色列去寻求庇护。若越出国境半步，即严惩不贷。倘若继续在以色列忍辱负重，他们的视野与雄心无疑将被遮蔽，乃至淹埋了。犹太人像鄙视阿拉伯人那样鄙视他们，而阿拉伯人又将他们视为叛国者，唾弃不已。何处才是归途？

Or I can sit down in History and read the first chapter of a charming treatise on the complex language of hand gestures in high Renaissance Naples.

书店是公共场所，你甚至会与一直怀念的旧相识不期而遇，和他谈谈彼此最近的生活，然后怀揣着匆匆留下的联络方式，凝视某本书的封面，久久不能从回想中抽身而出。

I'm strongly against the death penalty — it's an eye for an eye.

我不赞成死刑——这是以牙还牙的报复行为。

And to get you the support you need, we're enlisting all elements of our national power: our diplomacy and development, our economic might and our moral suasion, so that you and the rest of our military do not bear the burden of our security alone.

并给你们所须的支援，我们正徵召国家所有各种的力量：我们的外交及发展，我们的经济力量与道德劝说，所以你们与其他军人不须要孤独地负起国家安全的责任。
