这意味着，首先，从巴基斯坦驻扎在阿富汗1,600英里边境的有50,000人的战斗部队开始，提高边境部队的安全保卫训练。

So as the fog-bank flowed onward we fell back before it until we were half a mile from the house, and still that dense white sea, with the moon silvering its upper edge, swept slowly and inexorably on.

因此，当浓雾向我们流过来的时候，我们就向后退一退，这样一直退到了离房子有半里远的地方。可是那片上面闪耀着月光的浓白色的海洋，还在继续慢慢地、坚决地向着我们这个方向推进着。

At this moment the King, who had been for some time busily writing in his note-book, cackled out 'Silence!' and read out from his book, 'Rule Forty-two. ALL PERSONS MORE THAN A MILE HIGH TO LEAVE THE COURT.'

国王一直忙着在记事本上写什么？ 这时他高声喊道：“保持肃静！” 然后他看着本子宣读：“第四十二条， 所有身高一英里以上者退出法庭。”

They say you can' t get the same chemicals out of Tevershall coal as you can out of Stacks Gate, and that' s funny, they' re not three miles apart.

你不能从达娃斯哈的煤炭里取得和史德门那里一样的化学原材， 那是奇怪的事， 这两处煤矿相距只有三哩路。

It was several miles off, but I could distinctly see a small dark dot against the dull green and gray.

约有几里远的样子，可是在暗绿的和灰色的背景衬托之下，我能清楚地看到一个小黑点。

I recently visited a remote Dong village in the mountains of Quizho, one of China’s poorest provinces, miles away from the nearest paved road; yet it had electricity, and with electricity had come not just television, but the internet.

我最近访问了中国最为贫困省份之一的贵州省的偏僻村落东村。这个村子距离最近的马路也有好几英里，但是它通了电，不仅有电视，还有互联网。
