XVIII. torment:折磨;痛苦 

XIX. plague:折磨,使苦惱,帶來災禍 

XX. contemporary:當代的,現時代的 

XXI. conceal:掩蓋,掩飾
Example: 
    I shall find antiquity a rewarding study, if only because, while I am absorbed in it, 1 shall be able to turn my eyes from the troubles which for so long have tormented the modern world, and to write without any of that over-anxious consideration which may well plague a writer on contemporary life, even if it does not lead him to conceal the truth. 
    我發現研究古代歷史很有裨益,至少沉浸於遠古往事,我就能避而不見長期折磨著現代世界的諸多煩惱,並且能夠放手寫作,而不會像當代史作者。那些寫當代生活的作者那樣免不了會顧慮重重——即使此種顧慮尚不至於導致他們去掩蓋事實。
