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

我们删去了全部统计，只有专家才对这些感兴趣。

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.

大多数统计读起来都非常枯燥，可，的这个却不然，为读者满都大桶小桶瓶瓶罐罐的美酒佳肴，让人兴高采烈，受用不尽。
