It was not a prodigal's return to neoconservatism, from one simplicity to another.

这并不是浪子回头般的回到新保守主义，从一个简单的主义换到另一个。

This is Tolstoy, a prodigal son in a house of nobility, feeling the stirrings of a writer in the cavernous hollows of his heart.

这就是托尔斯泰，一个贵族之家的浪子，在他空洞的心灵深处感受着作家的激荡。

What is extremely clear though is that from this first murder Lecter would grow up to become a prodigal murderer and cannibal, until his capture in 1975.

但非常清楚的是，从这起第一起谋杀案开始，莱克特逐渐成长为一个挥霍无度的杀人犯和食人者，直到他于 1975 年被捕。

If he uses it as a stock reserved for immediate consumption, he acts the part of a prodigal, and dissipates, in the maintenance of the idle, what was destined for the support of the industrious.

如果他将它用作储备供立即消费的储备，他就扮演了挥霍者的角色，并在维持闲散时浪费了注定要供养勤奋者的资源。
