It must not be thought that any one could have mistaken her for a nervous , sensitive, high-strung nature, cast unduly upon a cold, calculating, and unpoetic world. 你不要以为,有人会把她错当成一个神经过敏、多愁善感、容易激动的人,不幸被抛入了一个冷漠无情精于算计缺乏诗意的社会。
Expressing himself sparely, he zeroes in on physical details that are tellingly ugly or bluntly unpoetic.
他不拘一格地表达自己,专注于丑陋或毫无诗意的身体细节。
