During the winter of 1915 I came to think that Germany had gone dangerously but methodically mad, and that the European War vitally concerned ourselves. This conviction I put in a book. Yeas and nays pelted me. Time seems to show the yeas had it.英文原著 · 《A Straight Deal》
The rain pelted and poured, and long before they reached the inn, Zoe's dress had become an external cuticle, an alpaca skin.英文原著 · 《A Woman-Hater》
On the approach of early spring[12] he collected his whole armament at Ephesus, and set himself to the work of training it. With that object he proposed a series of prizes: one set for the cavalry squadron which rode best, another for the heavy infantry divisions which presented the best physique, another again for various light troops, peltasts, and bowmen, which showed themselves most efficient in their respective duties.英文原著 · 《Agesilaus》
"May you never see a better feast," wished Timon "I wash off the flatteries with which you plastered me and sprinkle you with your villainy."
