We have eliminated all statistical tables, which are of interest only to the specialist.

我们删去了全部统计表格，因只有专家才对这些表格感兴趣。

Most statistical tables are parchingly dry in the reading; not so in the present case, however, where the reader is flooded with whole pipes, barrels, quarts, and gills of good gin and good cheer.

大多数统计表读起来非常枯燥，可是，前的这个却不然，因为读者是大桶小桶瓶瓶罐罐的美酒佳肴，让人兴采烈，受用不尽。
