Samuel Johnson

塞缪尔•约翰逊（英国作家，批评家）中释

1 One side of today’s political spectrum looks upon it with suspicion and distrust, echoing Samuel Johnson’s witticism that “patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel..今天政治光谱的一个侧面带着猜疑和不信任的眼光看它，呼应了塞缪尔·约翰逊的俏皮话：“爱国主义是歹徒最后的避难所。”

2 You have developed a habit that you depend on.As Samuel Johnson so eloquently said, “The chains of habit are generally too small to be felt until they are too strong to be broken..你发展了一种你依赖的习惯，正如塞缪尔·约翰逊富有表现力地说：“习惯的链条一般都太微弱了，根本感觉不到，直到它们强大到难以被打破时才感觉得出来。”

3 It's reasonable, I think, to invoke Dr. Johnson here, Samuel Johnson, who writes in his Life of Milton that Milton's unskillful allegory appears to be one of the greatest faults of the poem..我认为在这引用塞缪尔·约翰逊的话是很合理的，他一生都在写关于弥尔顿的文章,他指出弥尔顿不熟练的寓言成为了这部诗的大败笔之一。
