Twice as many books on religion were published in England as works of fiction in 1870. Sixteen years later， novels far outnumbered religious works.

The British and French armies in World War I did not advance more than three miles at any point on the western front in the whole year of 1915. The three miles cost the French army alone nearly 1.5 million men.
第一次世界大戰(zhàn)中，英法軍隊1915年全年在西線任何地方的推進都沒有超過3英里。為了這3英里，光是法軍就損失了將近150萬人。
The sinking in 1912 of the Titanic with a loss of 1，513 lives is not， as most people seem to believe， the greatest sea disaster of all time. Far from it！ It was dwarfed by the sinking thirty-three years later of the German vessel Wilhelm Gustloff， torpedoed in the Baltic Sea by the Russian submarine S-13. Close to 8，000 people drowned， most of them women and children—— more than five times the number of victims that went down with the Titanic.
1912年鐵達尼號沉沒，1513人喪命。但這并不像大多數人相信的那樣是歷的海難，情況遠非如此。在那以后33年德國船“威廉·古斯特洛夫”號在波羅的海被蘇聯的魚雷擊沉，造成的海難要嚴重得多。將近8000人被淹死，其中大部分是婦女和兒童——受難者比鐵達尼號沉船超出5倍多。
Nearly 700，000 land mines were dug up from the banks of the Suez Canal by the Egyptians and the Israelis after their brief but bitter war in October 1973.
1973年10月埃及和以色列短暫而劇烈的戰(zhàn)爭以后，從蘇伊士運河兩岸挖掘出了將近70萬顆地雷。
In the Andes， time is often measured by how long it takes to chew a quid of coca leaf. Sometimes， and not just in Andes， a destination is said to be so many cigarettes away.
在安第斯山脈，人們常常用嚼一塊古柯葉所用的時間作為計算時間的單位。有時，不僅在安第斯山，人們會說某地在幾枝煙之外。
