【每日一句】
He eats no fish and plays the game.
他忠诚而守规矩。
注释:一个有历史渊源的用法。英国历史上宗教斗争激烈，旧教规定在斋日教

徒可以吃鱼。新教推翻旧教后，新教教徒拒绝吃鱼表示忠于新教。所以“eat

no fish”就转译为“忠诚”。当然就要遵守规则，“play the game”就转译

为“守规矩”。

lifetime warranty
After burying his mother nine months earlier, a client of the local

mortuary finally had enough money to purchase the expensive coffin

he'd originally wanted. So we exhumed the body and transferred his

deceased mother into the new steel casket. "What's so special about

this coffin?" I asked the funeral director. He replied, "It has a

lifetime warranty."

相中的价值不菲的棺材了。他把母亲的棺材挖了出来，将尸体转移到了那副新

的钢制棺材中。“这副棺材有什么特别？”，我问葬礼的承办人。他回答说，

“这种棺材终生保修。”

Everyday we’re preoccupied with obligations and responsibilities

under great pressures from others and from ourselves, and what we
