Some of the most beautiful and thus appealing physical theories, including quantum electrodynamics and quantum gravity, have been dogged for decades by infinities that erupt when theorists try to prod their calculations into new domains. Getting rid of these nagging infinities has probably occupied far more effort than was spent in originating the theories.

一些最美丽、最吸引人的物理理论，包括量子电动力学和量子引力，几十年来一直受到无穷性的困扰，当理论家试图将他们的计算推向新的领域时，无穷性就会爆发。摆脱这些烦人的无穷性可能比创立这些理论所花费的努力要多得多。

parish pump politics

parish-pump squabbles

Never avoid bars or smoke-rooms, because in the former case you miss the chance of marrying a flirt, and in the latter of having your mind improved by local parish-pump politics, and your head broken by a fool in his cups.

永遠不要避開酒吧或吸煙室，因為在前一種情況下，你錯過了與一個輕浮女子結婚的機會，而在後一種情況下，你錯過了通過地方教區水泵式政治來提高自己思想的機會，以及被一個醉漢打破頭的機會。

[1875?]，Thomas Bardel Brindley，章號 I, in Hints, Humorous and Satirical, to All the World and His Wife. […] [給全世界及其妻子的幽默諷刺提示]，第3rd版, 倫敦: Simpkin, Marshall, and Co. […], →OCLC, paragraph 7，頁 6:

I now turn to the question of political progress. Ten days or so ago I was criticized in a newspaper for saying that I would confine political progress to the parish-pump level. […] I believe it right to ensure that truly responsible local government at the rural community and Municipal Council levels is firmly established and as quickly as possible.

現在我轉向政治進步的問題。大約十天前，我因為說我會將政治進步限制在地方基層水準而在報紙上受到批評。 […] 我認為確保在農村社區和市政委員會層面建立真正負責任的地方政府並盡快實施是正確的。

This study […] pays serious attention to so called parish-pump conflicts in the belief that they performed a fundamental role in shaping opinion in the countryside. The vitality of parish pump alignments had a temporal dimension, too, for it seems that the querulousness of the rural community expressed a developing perception of equilibrium and well-being.

這項研究 […] 認真關注所謂的地方瑣事衝突，相信它們在塑造鄉村輿論方面發揮了基礎性作用。地方小事派別的活力也有時間維度，因為鄉村社區的好爭吵似乎表達了對均勢和福祉不斷發展的認識。

The idea of "parish-pump politics" is well known. Instead of engaging in problem solving at the community level, local politicians often think only of their own, local community, even if it is much more reasonable to cooperate with neighbouring communities and to pursue common regional interests.

「狹隘地方政治」的觀念是眾所周知的。當地政治家們常常只考慮自己的地方社區，而不是在社區層面參與解決問題，即使與鄰近社區合作並追求共同的區域利益更為合理。

In "this big house", "big" is attributive, whereas in "this house is big", it is predicative.

In "this tiger is a man-eater," "man" is an attributive noun.

在“这只老虎是食人兽”中，“人”是定语名词。

Since both Attributes and Adjuncts recursively expand N-bar into N-bar, it seems clear that the two have essentially the same function, so that Attributes are simply pronominal Adjuncts (though we shall continue to follow tradition and refer to attributive premodifiers as Attributes rather than Adjuncts).

1988，Andrew Radford，Transformational grammar: a first course，Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press，頁 197:

ATTRIBUTIVE NOUN. A noun that modifies another noun: steel in steel bridge; London in London house.

定语名词。修饰名词的名词：steel brdige 中的 steel，以及 London house 中的 London。

2005，Thomas Burns McArthur, Tom McArthur, Roshan McArthur，Concise Oxford Companion to the English Language:

Grammatically, three ways of using adjectives can be distinguished: the attributive use, the predicative use and the adverbial use. We will only deal with the attributive and the predicative use here. In the attributive use, the adjective, within an NP, is attached to the head noun, e.g. a dubious company, a red balloon, the stupid driver.

从语法上讲，形容词的用法可以分为三种：定语用法、表语用法和状语用法。本文我们只讨论定语用法和表语用法。在定语用法中，名词短语中的形容词加在中心名词后面，例如：a dubious company（一家可疑的公司）、a red balloon（一只红气球）、the stupid driver（那个愚蠢的司机）。

To hate, &c.] Or thus, To be affected with hatred and horrour at. For abhor, though arranged in our dictionaries among verbs active, attributes an affection rather than an act of the mind. As the mind however is an active principle, all verbs attributive of what passes in the mind, even those we call neuter, attribute at the same time some mental act or operation. To grieve is reckoned a verb neuter; yet in grieving at some misfortune, the mind is not less active than it is in abhorring or loathing an object; which latter verbs are called verbs active.

1806，Benjamin Dawson，Philologia Anglicana: or, a Philological and synonymical dictionary of the English language ["A-Adornment"]，頁 36:

* 947 आल and आट put after वाक् Speech, with it form adjectives attributive of much bad or improper speaking; as वाचाल, or वाचाट Who utters much bad language.
