Turner's critics accused him of the cardinal sin of indistinctness.

评论家们指责特纳在这幅作品中最大失误就是画面的不清晰。

But here in the floating city where everything was liquid and slippery, he could embrace that indistinctness, make it his own particular glory.

但是在这个到处都湿湿滑滑的水上都市，他可以用这种不清晰性来表达他自己特有的赞颂。

In order to free his mind from this indistinctness and duplicity of impression, which vexed it with a strange disquietude, he recalled and more thoroughly defined the plans which Hester and himself had sketched for their departure.

为了使他的头脑摆脱这种模糊和口是心非的印象，这种印象以一种奇怪的不安困扰着他，他回顾并更彻底地确定了海丝特和他自己为离开而草拟的计划。
