Certainly by the 12th century scholars were teaching in the town and their fame had spread to the Continent, particularly to the Sorbonnes in Paris, then Europe's greatest centre of learning.

到了12世纪，学者们开始在城里教学，他们的名声传遍了整个欧洲大陆，尤其是当时欧洲最伟大的学术中心——巴黎索邦大学。

Yes, many artists have moved to other areas, such as Williamsburg, in Brooklyn, but that has merely spread the hipness rather than shifted its centre of gravity.

是的，许多艺术家搬到了布鲁克林的威廉斯堡等地方，但这仅仅传播了嬉皮的风格，而未曾撼动这种文化的中心地位。

Photography, and our understanding of it, has spread from a centre; it has, by infusion, penetrated our consciousness.

摄影、以及我们对摄影的认识，是从中心向外扩展；经由灌输的方式，进入我们的意识。

But if public buildings are being torched or shot up, as a city-centre bar was last month in Monterrey, the jitters will quickly, and rightly, spread.

Send me the love that would soak down into the centre of being, and from there would spread like the unseen SAP through the branching tree of life, giving birth to fruits and flowers.

赐予我这样的爱吧，渗透到生命的核心里，并从那儿蔓延下来，像看不见的树液流经生命之树，并开花结果。
