But the significant thing is not the behaviour of the players but the attitude of the spectators:

但是，要紧的还不是运动员的行为，而是观众的态度，

and we control it by means of the mud which we circulate down the drill pipe.

我们让泥浆顺着钻杆向下循环，用这种方法来控制压力。

living in a world in which undeclared aggression, war, hypocrisy, chicanery, anarchy and impending immolation are part of our daily lives, we all want a code to live by.

如今，不宣而战的侵略、战争、虚伪、诈骗、无政府状态以及即将临头的毁灭成了我们日常生活的一部分，我们都希望有一个赖以生存的行为准则。

not to mention the equally numerous small animals like field mice and voles which you do not see,

地上有不显眼的无数的老鼠和田鼠之类的小动物，

and makes them resolve that in future they will not talk to their parents about the places or people they visit.

决心以后不再向父母讲述去过的地方和见过的人。

from the search for what his world contains at its inmost point.

脱离了对自己灵魂最深处世界的探索。
