Distance, my friend, is like futurity.

距离，我朋友，就像。

But who can see an inch into futurity beyond his nose?

但谁能看到鼻子之外一寸呢？

Judging from the past, we may safely infer that not one living species will transmit its unaltered likeness to a distinct futurity.

从过去情况看， 我们可以有把握地推断， 没有一个生物物种会将其改变相似性传递到一个截然不同。

Mr. Bounderby closed the door, and stood before the fire; projecting himself after his old explosive manner into his portrait—and into futurity.

庞得贝先生关上门，站在炉火前。以过去爆炸性方式将自己投射到肖像——并投射到。

Do you acknowledge that the power of looking into futurity and seeing things that are not, as if they were, is an attribute of the Creator?

你否承认展望并看到事物并非存在力量造物主属性？

Here was Mr. Gradgrind on the same day, and in the same hour, sitting thoughtful in his own room. How much of futurity did he see?

同一天同一时间，葛雷格林先生正坐在自己房间里若有所思。看到了多少？

It had shown him where to set his foot, while the light of earth was fast becoming dim, and ere the light of futurity could reach him.

它告诉该在哪里落脚，而地球光芒正在迅速变暗，光芒还没有到达面前。

He was leaning with his elbows on the table and his chin on his hands, looking into a futurity which seemed to be sketched out on the tablecloth.

手肘支在桌子上，双手托着下巴，看着桌布上仿佛勾勒出。

He gave laws to the elements; He could reverse the order of nature; His eye read the mandates of futurity, and the infernal Spirits were submissive to his commands.

At times, a fearful doubt strove to possess her soul, whether it were not better to send Pearl at once to heaven, and go herself to such futurity as Eternal Justice should provide.

有时， 一种可怕疑虑占据了她灵魂，否立即将珠儿送往天堂，让她自己去永恒正义所提供更好。

If you mean to secure ease and prosperity on earth as the first consideration, and leave futurity to provide for itself, you act prudently in giving your child an early insight into the weaknesses of his nature.

如果您打算首先考虑在地球上获得安逸和繁荣，而让自给自足，那么您就应该谨慎行事，让您孩子及早了解本性弱点。

If the power of reflecting on the past, and darting the keen eye of contemplation into futurity, be the grand privilege of man, it must be granted that some people enjoy this prerogative in a very limited degree.

如果反思过去、用敏锐眼光审视能力人类一大特权，那么必须承认，有些人在非常有限程度上享有这种特权。

Those who make them a proof of a " future state" must necessarily suppose gradations in that futurity; does the savage, scarce risen above the brute, enter upon the same " new life" as the man of highest civilization?

那些将它们作为“状态”证明人必须假设等级；野蛮人，几乎没有超越野蛮，否进入了与最高文明人相同“新生活”？
