The first deals with the civilising forces of the future.

第一个涉及未来的文明力量。

The Belgian Congo joined other European colonies in Africa where wanton extraction was to be replaced by a supposedly civilising mission.

比属刚果加入了其它欧洲在非洲的殖民地，在那里，肆意剥削被冠上所谓文明使命的名号。

A people in the latter stages of contamination by the civilising mission, a people consumed by the European society Gauguin thought he had left behind.

他们处于被现代文明同化的后期阶段 高更以为自己离的那个欧洲社会 已将其吞噬殆尽。

In the early 1990s he described himself as an “advocate of civilisation, definer of civilisation, teacher of the rules of civilisation… leader (possibly) of the civilising forces.”

20世纪90年代早起，他形容自己是一个“文明的倡导者，文明的定义者，文明规则的教 授者.....文明力量的领袖（大概吧）”.

However, this confirmed my first opinion, that a people who could so far civilise brute animals, must needs excel in wisdom all the nations of the world.

然而，这证实了我的第一个观点，即一个能够到目前为止驯化野兽的民族，必须在智慧上超过世界上所有的国家。

They civilise their food by cooking it and they also civilised the food in a sense by cutting it into small pieces and making it very elegant and by banishing the brutality of knives to the kitchen.

他们通过烹饪来文明化食物， 从某种意义上说， 他们还通过将食物切成小块并使其变得非常优雅以及将刀具的残酷性消除到厨房来文明化食物。
