While that definition is fairly straight forward, a few synonyms including greed, covetousness, and cupidity provide a vivid picture of why this word has rightfully earned its place among the seven capital vices.

The author reveals some problems in this story: a problem of generation gap, a problem of choice of future husband and wife,…

Tyrion Lannister: “All dwarfs are bastards in their father's eyes.”(to John Snow) Translation 1. 天下的侏儒在他们父亲眼里都是私生子。 Translation 2.全天下的侏儒，在他们父亲眼里都跟私生子没两样。 The first version is based on foreignization, as we can see, the message from source material is delivered effectively.

In this scene, Tyrion was trying to encourage the bastard of Ned Stark, John Snow, the first version more like a unappreciated dwarf whining to another unlucky bastard, as a matter of fact, he is…

The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare gives a creative and artful interpretation of the political affairs surrounding the assassination of the famed Roman leader Julius Caesar. While many historic accounts surrounding this story vary in opinion as to Brutus’s true motives to lead the conspiracy, this particular play views Brutus as a tragic hero who did what he saw fit for the greater good of Rome. After Caesar is killed, both Brutus and Marc Antony, Caesar’s right hand man, give…

These adventures reshape Huck into a fine young man who values friends, justice, and…
