In the Icelandic and Pomeranian myths the schamir, or "raven-stone," also renders its possessor invisible,--a property which it shares with one of the treasure-finding plants, the fern.[30] In this respect it resembles the ring of Gyges, as in its divining and rock-splitting qualities it resembles that other ring which the African magri-cian gave to Aladdin, to enable him to descend into the cavern where stood the wonderful lamp.英文原著 · 《Myths and Myth-Makers》
He'll no trouble you greatly. Davy, this is Mr. Temple. You're to stay with him till I come again.''
``Come here, lad,'' said the gentleman, and he peered into my face. ``You'll not resemble your mother.''
``He'll resemble no one,'' said my father, shortly. ``Good-by, Davy. Keep this till I come again.'' And he gave me the parcel made of my mother's gown. Then he lifted me in his strong arms and kissed me, and strode out of the house.英文原著 · 《The Crossing》
It was nearly four thousand feet down. Do you realize how far that is? There was a river meandering through olive-colored forests. It was so distant that it was light green and as narrow as a piece of tape. Here and there were rapids, but so remote that we could not distinguish the motion of them, only the color. The white resembled tiny dabs of cotton wool stuck on the tape. It turned and twisted, following the turns and twists of the canon. Somehow the level at the bottom resembled less forests and meadows than a heavy and sluggish fluid like molasses flowing between the canon walls.英文原著 · 《The Mountains》
The New Man and Woman do not resemble two people, who, standing on a level plain, set out on two roads, which diverging at different angles and continued in straight lines, must continue to take them farther and farther from each other the longer they proceed in them; rather, they resemble two persons who start to climb a spur of the same mountain from opposite sides; where, the higher they climb the nearer they come to each other, being bound ultimately to meet at the top.英文原著 · 《Woman and Labour》
We left York this morning, and arrived here about eleven o'clock. It seems there is some sort of an election going on in the town, and there was not a single fly at the station. Copley walked about in every direction, but neither horse nor vehicle was to be had for love nor money. At last we started to walk to the village, Mr. Copley so laden with our hand-luggage that he resembled a pack-mule. We made a tour of the inns, but not a single room was to be had, not for that night nor for three days ahead, on account of that same election.英文原著 · 《A Cathedral Courtship》
The English trader was a young man, a cockney, named Upsher. At home he had been a steward on the Channel steamers. Everett made him his most intimate friend. He had a black wife, who spent most of her day in a four-post bed, hung with lace curtains and blue ribbon, in which she resembled a baby hippopotamus wallowing in a bank of white sand.英文原著 · 《A Question of Latitude》
What was I going to say, "When you leave these walls, none of what you do will even resemble the ideals discussed in this building, what is so cleanly laid out in the books"?美剧 · 《Billions》
