The editorial, though intended to impugn the current administration, inadvertently substantiated several claims made against the regime suggested as a preferable alternative, effectively castrating any plans for a change in leadership.

Most psychologists, perplexed by the feelings they acknowledge are aroused by aesthetic experience, have claimed that these emotions are genuine, but different in kind from nonaesthetic emotions. This, however, is a descriptive dsitinction rather than an empirical observation and consequently lacks explanatory value. On the other hand, Gombrich argues that emotional responses to art are ersatz; art triggers remembrances of previously experienced emotions. These debates have prompted the psychologist Radford to argue that people do experience real melancholy or joy in responding to art, but that these areirrational responses precisely because people know they are reacting to illusory stimuli.
絕大多數的心理學家對於藉由美學經歷所喚起的一種她們所公認的感受感到困惑,他們聲稱這些情緒是真的,是跟非美學所帶動的情緒是不一樣的。然而這只是描述性的差別而不是經驗得來的觀察而最後是缺乏了解釋的價值。另一方面來說,貢布七說道情緒反應到藝術上是"假的",是眼睛業障重,因為是藝術驅動了先前經歷過的情緒記憶。這些爭論促使心理學家洪福特去探討到當對藝術回應時人確實經歷過真的憂傷和喜悅,但是洪福特也認為這都是不合常理的回應因為精確地說人們知道他們對幻覺的反應是如何。

The question of forgery in photography has lately become nontrivial. Prices for vintage prints(those make by a photographer soon after he or she made the negative) so drastically ballooned in the 1990s that one of these photographs might fetch a hundred times as much as a nonvintage print of the same image. It was perhaps only a matter of time before someone took advantage of the discrepancy to peddle newly created “vintage”prints for profit.
造假相片的問題近來便猖獗了。vintage prints(一種沖洗照片的術語,在照完像至後力馬用負片沖洗出來的原汁照片)的價錢在90年代是如此被瘋狂炒作以至於一張這種的照片可能是non-vintage print所照出來的照片還貴上好幾百倍。早晚會有人利用這種價差的優勢去販售全新創造的仿“vintage”prints牟利

Middlemarch author George Eliot reportedly bemoaned the dearth of erudite women, of which her well-educated main character, Dorothea, was a paradigm . Therefore, Eliot scholars have long debated the author’s meaning in marrying Dorothea to the elderly preacher Casaubon and having him exploit his bride for menial needs.
據說米德爾馬契德的作者喬治艾略特(英國女作家)在抱怨才女有夠少的,而這個怨言是根據在她著作中她那受過良好教育的女主角多蘿西亞就是個才女的模範而來的。因此,很多學者對於作者艾略特把多蘿西亞這樣的才女嫁給故事中有點年紀的神職人員卡索邦而且還任由他為了一些端不上檯面的需求去利用他的新娘的用意有了一段很長的爭論。

But they pay little attention to the opposite and more treacherous failing: false certainty, refusing to confess their mistakes and implicitly claiming infallibility,thereby embarrassing the nation and undermining the Constitution, which established various mechanisms of self-correction on the premise that even the wisest men are sometimes wrong and need, precisely when they find it most discomfiting, the benefit of remedial process.
他們不注重這個對立立場且對不可靠的錯誤更不予理會,就是對的很假拉,而且他們否認他們的錯誤和偷偷摸摸地宣稱消息可靠無誤,藉此來使國家蒙羞且詆毀國家憲法,而這個國家和憲法是以各式各樣的自我糾正機制運作堅信即使是最聰明的人有時也犯錯,以及精確地說是被建立用來應對當他們(聰明的人)發現挫賽之後他們(聰明的人)還是有補救的餘地

Public officials recently announced plans to condone noise pollution in parts of the downtown. Aside from citing the usual costs of enforcing ordinances, the city also referenced reports indicating that residents had become inured to the hubbub, a finding that, for the most part, is not incompatible with the dearth of media coverage on the issue—when a municipality is responsible for disgruntled citizens, the newspapers are sure to follow up with a flurry of coverage.
政府官員近期宣布在城市一些區域放寬噪音汙染的計畫。此城市(的官員)除了引述這些執行法令的常態性花費之外,也參考了隱射居民對喧鬧無感的報導,發現對大部分而言,居民對喧鬧無感的報導反映了媒體在噪音議題上不加以著墨的事實,換句話說就是當市政擾名時,新聞傳媒一定窮追事件所涵蓋的騷動

The government has no choice but to heed the incessant demands for land reform, and yet any governmental action that initiated land reform without requisite attention to agrarian reform would compromise the overall goal of economic modernization. 
政府沒別的辦法選了,只能不斷的把重心放在土地重劃的需求上,但是對於任何那些沒把必要的關注放在農業重劃上就著手土改的政府行動來說,可能會毀了有關經濟現代化上的所有目標

The trade in scientific literature in nineteenth-century Germany was so robust that publisher constantly worried about supplies of new titles, an anxiety that gave even relatively undistinguished authors, who made their living writing technical treatises, strong bargaining positions.
19世紀德國科學文獻的買賣是如此蓬勃,以至於出版社常常為新題目的供應而煩惱,而這隱憂給了這類也是靠專寫論文為生的作者當中的爛咖強大的談判籌碼

Because the potential hazards pollen grains are subject to as they are transported over long distances are enormous, wind pollinated plants have, in the view above, compensated for the ensuing loss of pollen through happenstance by virtue of producing an amount of pollen that is one to three orders of magnitude greater than the amount produced by species pollinated by insects.
