1.  Let it deceive them, then, a little longer; it can not deceive them too much.
任它去欺骗他们，接着，没多久之后，它就无法再迷惑他们。
can not ...too much的意思是：再怎么样才不过分
让这件事情欺骗他们更久一点吧，再怎么欺骗他们都不为过。

2.We shall never get anywhere with all the criticism and fault finding. I believe in the principle "Live and let live".
过多的批评和挑刺将会使我们将一事无成。我坚信顺其自然的原则。
Live and let live:
vi. 各自生活不相扰(待人要宽容,不互相挑剔)
翻译为：“相互包容”更加好些。
这套批评和挑剔的做法是行不通的，我相信“相互包容”的原则。

3.He said that no one could beat him at tennis, but he had to eat his word after losing several games.
  他曾经声称没人能够赢得了他的网球，不过输了几局比赛后，他不得不咽下自己的狂言。
eat one's words: 承认说错,收回前言 (翻译为吐下自己的狂言不妥当）
他说打网球没人打得过他，但是输了几场后，他不得不承认自己的错误。

4.I had read too many novels and had learned too much at school not to know a good deal about love.
我读过数不胜数的小说，在学校里学到了丰富的知识，却依旧对爱情懵懂无知。
我读过很多小说，在学校里所见所闻不少，对于爱情自然知道得很多。
首先：“too...not to” 此句型是由含否定意义的“too...to”演变而，来，too...to中to为否定，当其前加了not之后，否定之否定等于肯定，所以这个句型意为“太…不会不…”、“非常…一定能…”。这也是否定形式表示肯定意义。例如： ①He is too careful not to have noticed it.他那么细心，不会不注意到这一点。 ②He is too angry not to say it.他在盛怒之下，难免要说出这样的话来。 ③He is too wise not to solve this problem.他非常聪明，一定能解决这一问题。 ④He is too honest not to keep his promise.他非常诚实，不会不守约的。 ⑤Carrie was too worn by defeat not to feel that it was considerable.嘉利一再碰钉子，不能不感到这是个好机会。

5.In fact, one office-system expert recently said that he had yet to encounter a business work place that was functioning at more than 60 percent efficiency.
事实上，一位办公系统专家近来声称他至今尚未碰到运营效率超过60%的营业场所。
很对

6.Nobody with any sense expects to find the whole truth in advertisement any more than he expects a man applying for a job to describe his shortcomings and serious faults.
任何具有基本常识的人都不会指望在广告中发现所有的真相，正如我们也不会指望找工作的人会自暴自己的缺点和致命的不足。
有头脑的人谁也不指望求职者说出自己的缺点和严重过错，同样，我们不会指望广告里说得都是真的。

7.There is probably no better way for a foreigner (or an Englishman) to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it.
对于外国人或英国人自身来说，若想理解英语这门语言的博大精深之处，恐怕没有比学习莎士比亚使用英语时多姿多彩的用法更好的方法了。
对于外国人（甚至包括英国人）来说

8.We are human and human beings are far from perfect. To be human implies that we will make mistakes. But it's more than that we feel human. We now feel entitled
我们属于人类，而人类还远称不上完美无缺。身为人类意味着我们总会犯错误。但这还远不是我们之所觉为人类之处。现在我们感到犯错误也是顺理成章之事。
我们是凡人，而凡人远非十全十美。身为凡人我们就会犯错误。但是我们觉得自己是凡人不仅仅是因为我们会犯错误。我们如今感到有权利犯错误。
难
你做得很好呀！赞
