A few years later, I read Helen's book and wrote her about how much I liked it. She was famous now in New York.
几年之后,当我读到海伦的书,我迫不及待的写信告诉她我有多喜欢她的文字.她当时在纽约名声大作。At the bottom of her heart she despised the other people, who carped and were loud over trifles.
她在心底里蔑视其他人,他们专在小事上吹毛求疵,小题大作。Isn't it sort of silly to ask God to relieve our trivial aches and pains?
求神除去我们的小病痛,是不是有点小题大作?I'd be sitting there trying to record a podcast episode and if it wasn't the phone ringing or the doorbell, it was the clocks gonging away.
我坐在家里准备录制播客却总是被干扰,不是电话响就是门铃响,或者干脆是闹钟铃声大作。Whenever the wind masterpiece, it is always the kind of indomitable spirit of its own against the wind abhorrent.
每当狂风大作时,它总是以自己那种顽强的精神反抗着可恶的狂风。I had traveled only two hours one day when the winds increased so much that I had to put my tent up before the wind became too strong.
一天,我刚走了两个小时,突然狂风大作,我只好趁风力还不算太大之前,支起帐蓬。It was a dark night. The wind was blowing hard and the rain was falling heavily. A young woman suddenly appeared on the riverbank.
一个漆黑的夜晚,狂风大作,大雨倾盆,一位年轻的妇女突然出现在河岸上。You're not hurt badly, Tom. Stop trying to make mountain out of a molehill with crying.
Tom,你伤得并不严重,所以不要小题大作一直哭。His head fell forward and he began to snore.
他的头往前一倒,便鼾声大作了。
