Alas, poor duke! the task he undertakes is numbering sands, and drinking oceans dry: Where one on his side fights, thousands will fly. 唉!可怜的公爵!他担负的工作简直是数沙饮海; 一个人站在他一边作战,就有1000人转身逃走。
A hundred years ago people scoffed at the idea that man would ever fly. 100年前人们对人类能飞起来这个观点嗤之以鼻。
We are flying at an altitude of 20000 feet. 我们的飞行高度是20000英尺。
