It was more than their flirtatious little games; it was a way of life.
他们的小游戏已远非调情消遣，那是一种生活方式。Each attempt at a level takes just a few seconds, which is great when you're standing in a queue or on a train platform.
每一关只消花上你几十秒的时间，是排队等待或站台候车时的上佳消遣；She realized at last that he didn't believe a word she was saying. In his eyes was cynicism and some sort of cool amusement.
她最好意识到他不相信她所说的话。在他的眼里，只有愤世嫉俗主义，和一些冷漠的消遣。By now I habitually clicked through S's photo albums, a diversion far better than popping into a colleague's office for a romantic update.

盛夏阅读不是我原先认为的仅仅借以消磨时光的娱乐不是躺在吊床上无忧无虑打开书本就什么都忘掉的一种消遣。Van Norden still bellyaching about his cunts and about washing the dirt out of his belly. Only now he's found a new diversion.
范诺登仍为了他的女人、为了把肚子里的脏东西冲洗出来而发牢骚，只是现在发现了一种新消遣，他发现手淫不那么令人烦恼。He was still an interested factor in the merry-makings of the world, while she -- but she did not pursue the thought.

难道这一切都只是夏末的消遣，借以回避那个每年都随秋日的凉爽飘回的现实吗？Rabelais like him all the humanists of that era, like the game is to go beyond simply the height of the daily entertainment.
拉伯雷像他那个时代的所有人文主义者一样，是将游戏提高到超越单纯日常消遣的高度的。
