<< review queue entry 69025 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> ii 1. settle down --> to settle down 2. get on with one's pursuit --> pursue one's path in life "pursuit" is a bit misleading, I think "pursuit: an activity of a specified kind, especially a recreational or sporting one." 3. (idiom) TP 雖然華教人士極力爭取華文地位，但是大馬在1957年獨立後，世居此地的華人多已逐漸認同馬來西亞做為安身立命的國度，不再以中華民國僑民自居。 While Chinese educators fought fiercely for official recognition of their language, after Malaysia gained its independence, long-time resident Chinese families began to settle down and integrate rather than continue to identify themselves as citizens of the Republic of China. 大家都覺得自己可以在這個解釋裡獲得安頓，可以安身立命，不必再擔心會受到排斥或欺壓。 everyone feels they can move forward with their lives without fear of discrimination or oppression. 社會不斷告訴婦女，家庭是她們安身立命之所， Society constantly tells women that their place and their fulfillment are in the home. 東方風格當年飄洋過海，落籍異邦，好容易安身立命；如今大舉還鄉，卻負起了宣揚「歐洲」文化的重任，以「異國情調」招徠東亞顧客，真是不知何處是他鄉了。 The oriental style which once crossed the ocean and established itself with difficulty in foreign lands seems to have returned under the guise of "European" culture with an exotic appeal to East Asian customers. It really is very difficult to know just what is foreign. 其實也讓我們遭遇不少挫折，以致常常感到不知如何在這混亂的時代安身立命，充滿徬徨、無力的感覺。 These changes caused many frustrations, and often left us feeling lost and powerless, not knowing how, in this messed-up age, to peacefully stake out a life for ourselves. 儘管高雄的機會遍地都是，這波白領族卻未必把它當成安身立命的理想所在，因此未現於高雄市遷入人口的統計數目帳面。 Even though opportunity abounds in Kaohsiung, not all of this wave of white-collar workers considers it a place to settle down and so are not included in census figures as new residents. 可以想見的是，更多人將被拋出職場，從此再也找不到安身立命的所在。 It is plain enough to see that even more people will be thrown on the scrap heap, and be unable to find a livelihood again. 有人苦苦尋覓，尋找安身立命的落腳處；有人卻像是晉朝捕魚的武陵人 ，誤入桃花源，從此流連忘返、樂不思蜀。 Some people find a place to settle down only after a quest of epic difficulty. But others, like the fisherman in the Jin dynasty who stumbled into the Peach Blossom Paradise and forgot to go back, have found the land of their dreams by accident, and stay because they are so happy. 有了可以安身立命的家園，對杜建坊來說，生活與事業才剛要開始。 As far as Tu is concerned, now that he has found a place to settle down, his life and his work can truly begin. 雖說成功造就了一個美地，但對賴森賢和他的十位伙伴而言，他們並不希望公館只是為都市人減壓的後花園，因為，他們都住在店裡，休閒農莊可是他們一家老小同心戮力、安身立命的家園。 Although you can say that they've been successful in creating a beautiful locale, as far as Lai Sen-hsien and his ten companions are concerned, they don't want Kungkuan to become nothing more than a place where city people come to ease their pressures-their "backyard" as it were. They emphasize that they have settled down here. It's where they live and work. |
