It makes mock of your sound senses , and lays them in thistledown like fragile vessels .

它嘲笑你们健全的意识，把它们像脆弱的器皿般置于蓟绒下。

There was a light-blue morning wind blowing and thistledown flying loose along the tops of the clouds and larks going up and down , up and down , in the shining lift of the sky .

晨风吹着，蓟花的种子轻轻地飘到云端，云雀忽高忽低地飞翔，在明亮的天空下。

So much for all those treasured tory principles . Choice , freedom , competition , austerity : as soon as they conflict with the demands of the corporate elite , they drift into the blue yonder like thistledown .

托利党奉为圭臬的所有原则：选择、自由、竞争、朴素，一旦与企业精英的要求相悖，就会被束之高阁。
