Lexicography

Devil's Dictionary

SYMBOLIC, adj. Pertaining to symbols and the use and interpretation of symbols. They say 'tis conscience feels compunction; I hold that that's the stomach's function, For of the sinner I have noted That when he's sinned he's somewhat bloated, Or ill some other ghastly fashion Within that bowel of compassion. True, I believe the only sinner Is he that eats a shabby dinner. You know how Adam with good reason, For eating apples out of season, Was "cursed." But that is all symbolic: The truth is, Adam had the colic. G.J. T T, the twentieth letter of the English alphabet, was by the Greeks absurdly called tau. In the alphabet whence ours comes it had the form of the rude corkscrew of the period, and when it stood alone (which was more than the Phoenicians could always do) signified Tallegal, translated by the learned Dr. Brownrigg, "tanglefoot."

La curva della durezza in funzione della temperatura mostra il processo nella sua interezza : prima una riduzione progressiva di durezza, che rappresenta il periodo del ristabilimento delle propriet meccaniche dell'acciaio, poi una rapida caduta della d (the curve of hardness as a function of annealing temperature illustrates the entire process. The first stage is a progressive decrease in hardness corresponding to the period of recovery of the meChanical properties of the steel, then a sudden fall-off in hardness which marks the period of polygonization, then nucleation), dies a quo (day on which the period begins, dies a quo), dies ad quem (day on which the period expires, dies ad quem), durata utile (and upon which the rate of depreciation allowed will normally depend, the period during which an asset is estimated to provide useful service to a business, useful life, working life), giorno di inizio del termine (day on which the period begins, dies a quo), giorno di scadenza del termine (day on which the period expires, dies ad quem), gli ammortamenti-o consumo di capitali fissi-rappresentano la perdita di valore subita dai beni di investimento nel corso del periodo in esame,per effetto del normale logorio fisico e dell'obsolescenza prevedibile,nonché per il verificarsi di eventi acci (as a result of normal wear and tear and foreseeable obsolescence, consumption of fixed capital represents the amount of fixed capital used up, during the period under consideration, including a provision for losses of fixed capital goods as a result of accidental damage which can be insured against), i beni acquistati sul mercato e effettivamente impiegati dall'unit che li acquista durante il periodo in esame,cioè gli acquisti correnti di beni aumentati dei beni simili prelevati dalle scorte esitenti all'inizio del periodo,e diminuiti dei beni simi (goods bought on the market and actually consumed by the unit which buys them during the relevant period, i.e.current purchases of goods, plus the value of similar goods withdrawn from stocks existing at the beginning of the period and minus the value of similar goods added to stocks during the period), A questa segue una curva ascendente - curva di incrudimento - e dopo la formazione di una strizione nel campione la curva ridiscende e termina con la rottura di questo (the curve then begins to climb again during the period of work-hardening until necking sets in. This maximum is followed by a falling curve which ends in the fracture of the test-piece), indebita abbreviazione della durata della protezione (unwarranted curtailment of the period of protection), vita economica (and upon which the rate of depreciation allowed will normally depend, the period during which an asset is estimated to provide useful service to a business, useful life, working life), la durata dell'imbarco è di una uscita in mare (the period spent on board shall be the length of a trip), le riserve-premi,risultanti dal fatto che la durata dei contratti di assicurazione non coincide con la durata dell'esercizio finanziario delle imprese di assicurazione,sono costituite dalle quote dei premi anticipate dagli assicurati e trasferite all'eser (consist of those parts of the premiums paid in advance by the insured and carried forward to the following accounting period.They are determined on the basis of the proportion of the risks involved in relation to time for the period remaining to run until, prepayments of premiums, which result from the fact that the duration of insurance contracts does not coincide with the financial year of the insurance enterprises), militari appartenenti alla popolazione totale,in et lavorativa,del territorio,in servizio attivo nelle forze armate nel corso del periodo considerato,qualunque sia il luogo di stazionamento ed il loro statuto (and who are on active service in the armed forces during the period under consideration, drawn from the total population of working age, military personnel, originating from the country, wherever they are stationed and whatever their status), moderno (modern, modish, of the period, recent), notificazione alla persona o al suo domicilio (either on the party in person or at his residence, the period runs from the date when the decision was served), premi di risparmio accordati periodicamente alle famiglie dalle amministrazioni pubbliche a titolo di ricompensa per operazioni di risparmio effettuate dalle famiglie nel periodo in esame (bonus payments on savings granted at intervals by general government to households in order to reward them for their saving during the period), Programmi comunitari di ricerca e di coordinamento della ricerca nel settore della pesca per il periodo 1988-1992 (Community research and coordination programmes in the fisheries sector for the period 1988 to 1992), valutare le scorte di inizion e di fine periodo ai prezzi medi del periodo (to take the difference between the values of the opening and closing stocks measured at the average prices for the period), Il periodo della deformazione elastica del campione termina con un picco - limite superiore di snervamento -, poi compare una fase, il limite inferiore di snervamento, in cui il campione si allunga sotto un carico quasi costante e che viene chiamata fase (the period of elastic deformation for mild steel ends at the upper yield point, then Comes a flat stage corresponding to the lower yield point during which the test-piece elongates under quasi-Constant load; this is the lower yield stress).
