In general, and like everything else in the sky, comets were considered omens or harbingers of human events.

总的来说，就像天空中的其他事物一样，彗星被认为是人类活动的预兆。

Even Mrs. Archer, who was seldom unduly pleased with human events, had been altogether glad of her son's engagement.

即使是阿切尔太太， 她很少对世事感到过分高兴，但对她儿子的订婚也感到非常高兴。

Every four years, or every two years when one includes the winter Olympics, which began in 1924, the world focuses on a human event that represents the good of humanity.

从1924年开始，每隔四年（如果你把冬季奥运会算进来的话则为每隔两年），全世界的注意力都集中到这一表现人性好的一面的人类活动上。
