What a bundle of contradictions is a man！ Surety， humour is the saving grace of us， for without it we should die of vexation.
人真是充滿矛盾??！毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，幽默是惟一幫助我們擺脫矛盾的辦法，要是沒(méi)有它，我們就會(huì)死于煩惱。

With me， nothing illustrates the contrariness of things better than the matter of sleep.
在我看來(lái)，沒(méi)有什么比睡眠更能說(shuō)明事物間的矛盾。

If， for example， my intention is to write an essay， and 1 have before me ink and pens and several sheets of virgin paper， you may depend upon it that before I have gone very far I feel an overpowering desire for sleep， no matter what time of the day it is.
比如，我打算寫(xiě)一篇文章，面前放好了筆、墨和幾張白紙，準(zhǔn)保沒(méi)寫(xiě)幾個(gè)字我就會(huì)困得要命，無(wú)論當(dāng)時(shí)是幾點(diǎn)都會(huì)那樣。

I stare at the reproachfully blank paper until sights and sounds become dim and confused， and it is only by an effort of will that I can continue at all.
我瞪著那似乎在譴責(zé)我的白紙，直到眼前一片模糊，聲音也難以辨清，只有靠意志力才能勉強(qiáng)堅(jiān)持。

Even then， I proceed half-heartedly， in a kind of dream.
即使這時(shí)，我也會(huì)迷迷糊糊地像在做夢(mèng)一樣繼續(xù)堅(jiān)持工作。

But let me be between the sheets at a late hour， and I can do any-thing but sleep.
但是當(dāng)深夜躺在床上，我什么事都能干，只有睡覺(jué)無(wú)法做到。

Between chime and chime of the clock I can write essays by the score.
隨著時(shí)鐘一遍一遍的報(bào)時(shí)，我可以完成大量的文章。

Fascinating subjects and noble ideas come pell-mell， each with its appropriate imagery and expression.
極有吸引力的主題和崇高的思想紛紛出現(xiàn)在腦海，隨之而來(lái)的還有恰如其分的意象和措辭。

Nothing stands between me and half-a-dozen imperishable masterpieces but pens， ink， and paper.
除了筆、墨和紙，什么也不能阻止我寫(xiě)出半打不朽的杰作。
