Like a theater audience that watches the herky - jerky gestures of a marionette and infers the presence of a hidden puppeteer , researchers observe that visible matter moves in unaccountable ways and conclude that unseen matter must be pulling the strings 这就好像观众在戏院中看到木偶的一举手、一投足，便会推论出幕后有人在操纵著；当天文学家观察到有形可见的物质以不能理解的方式运动时，即认定背后有看不见的物质在作怪。
Once , this freakish , elvish cast came into the child s eyes , while hester was looking at her own image in them , as mothers are fond of doing ; and , suddenly - for women in solitude , and with troubled hearts , are pestered with unaccountable delusions - she fancied that she beheld , not her own miniature portrait , but another face , in the small black mirror of pearl s eye 一次，当海斯特象做母亲的喜欢做的那样，在孩子的眼睛中看着自己的影象时，珠儿的眼睛巾又出现了那种不可捉摸的精灵似的目光由于内心烦闷的妇女常常为莫名其妙的幻象所萦绕，她突然幻想着，她在珠儿的眼睛那面小镜子中看到的不是她自己的小小的肖像，而是另外一张面孔。
We cannot judge with certainty of his genius in austria and prussia , as the accounts of his doings there must be drawn from french and german sources . and the unaccountable surrender of corps of soldiers without a battle , and of fortresses without a siege , must dispose germans to postulate napoleons genius as the unique explanation of the war as it was waged in germany 我们也难以准确无误地判断他在奥地利和在普鲁士的天才，因为有关他在那里的活动的报导，我们要从法国和德国的文献中去查找整个兵团未经战斗就不可思议地投降当了俘虏，要塞还没有被包围就一个个陷落，这一切使德国人不能不承认他的天才，为那场在德国进行的战争作出唯一的解释。
But after innumerable fluttering thoughts , like a man perfectly confus d and out of my self , i came home to my fortification , not feeling , as we say , the ground i went on , but terrify d to the last degree , looking behind me at every two or three steps , mistaking every bush and tree , and fancying every stump at a distance to be a man ; nor is it possible to describe how many various shapes affrighted imagination represented things to me in , how many wild ideas were found every moment in my fancy , and what strange unaccountable whimsies came into my thoughts by the way 这使我心烦意乱，像一个精神失常的人那样，头脑里尽是胡思乱想，后来就拔腿往自己的防御工事跑去，一路飞奔，脚不沾地。可是，我心里又惶恐至极，一步三回头，看看后面有没有人追上来，连远处的一丛小树，一枝枯树干，都会使我疑神疑鬼，以为是人。一路上，我是惊恐万状，头脑里出现各种各样的幻景，幻觉里又出现各种各样荒诞不经的想法以及无数离奇古怪的妄想，简直一言难荆我一跑到自己的城堡-以后我就这样称呼了-一下子就钻了进去，好像后面真的有人在追赶似的。
There must be something short - sighted in the eternal arrangements , surely thus it was , however ; and the last drop of blood having been extracted from the flints , and the last screw of the rack having been turned so often that its purchase crumbled , and it now turned and turned with nothing to bite , monseigneur began to run away from a phenomenon so low and unaccountable 可是实际情况就是如此。一无所有的人已被榨干了最后的一滴血，刑具的最后的螺丝已经多次使用，受刑者已经崩溃，现在那螺丝转来转去，再也咬不住什么了。大人们只好离开这样今人丧气而又无法解释的现象，逃得远远的。
