古怪的人

The weirdly glamorous star are all there; and so is the androgyne who gives

反调者和古怪迷人的明星，还有双性人所散发出的相互矛盾的男女信号。

However, a curmudgeon is someone with "stubborn ideas or notions," and a careful analysis shows that House does not fit the archetype of a curmudgeon in this sense. He is much less opinionated than he is deductive, since he has very few principles of his own, and uses his astute reasoning skills to point out the inconsistency or unfoundedness of the opinions of others.

他是个跛子，一条腿因为肌肉梗塞而长期疼痛，这使他求助于拐杖和大把大把的Vicodin（扑热息痛片，一种麻醉药品），这是个典型的受伤者的模样，于是很多人把他的狂妄，古怪，偏执归于此，但实际上在他的腿没出事前他也是一个样。

You'd hear of odd things if I lived alone with that mawkish, waxen face: the most ordinary would be painting on its white the colours of the rainbow, and turning the blue eyes black, every day or two: they detestably resemble Linton's.

如果我跟那个让人恶心的蜡脸同居，你会听到古怪事情的。最平常的是每隔一两天那张白脸上就要画上彩虹的颜色，而且蓝眼睛就要变成黑的，那双眼睛跟林惇的眼睛相像得令人讨厌。

Although there's only a year between them, at 39 Keith is so gangly, gawky, boyish and cute that he could be ten years younger than he is.

现年39岁的Keith身材瘦高，姿势有点古怪，像个大男孩。尽管两人只相差一岁，Keith显得比他的的实际年龄要小10岁。

The particular classes chosen may appear somewhat curious to American lawyers, but it is to be remembered that they do not represent an attempt to distinguish between murders according to heinousness or moral gravity, but to select for capital punishment those types of murder in which the deterrent effect is likely to be most powerful.

这些被选定的特殊种类的谋杀，在美国法律人看来，可能显得有些古怪，但应当记住，他们并不代表试图着按凶残或道德上的严重性来区分谋杀的一种尝试，而是代表着要为死刑来选择了死刑的遏制效果力在其中可能最强的那些类型的谋杀。

Watching Huntley, Brinkley and Cronkite, I knew that my life's goal — my secret, outlandish dream —was to somehow join their ranks.

注视着亨特利、布林克利和克郎凯特（三人皆为美国60年代著名电视记者——本报注），我知道，自己一生的目标就是设法加入他们的行列——这也是我藏在心底的一个古怪梦想。

He is so idiosyncratic in his literary judgements that is impossible to think of him as a sound critic.

他文学方面的见解是如此的古怪，使人难以想像他是一位理智的批评家。

What I allude to is the unbroken and agonizing ugliness, the sheer revolting monstrousness,"of every house in sight".

我指的是所看到的房子没有一幢不是丑陋得令人难受，畸形古怪得让人作呕的。

A droll little man with a quiet tongue-in-cheek kind of humor.

具有一种非常会挖苦人的幽默感的古怪小人。

Still more unnatural would it appear, it one were to write an epic in a medley of metres, as Chaeremon did. Hence it is that no one has ever written a long story in any but heroic verse; nature herself, as we have said, teaches us to select the metre appropriate to such a story.

如果有人像凯列蒙一样用混杂的格律创作史诗，那会显得极为古怪，因为从来没有人用英雄体之外的格律写过长篇的故事，正如我们所言，自然本身教导我们选择适合这类故事的英雄体。

What are your goals and strategies for growth?

你的成长目标和策略是什么？

And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven irits of God, and the seven star I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.

3：1 你要写信给撒狄教会的使者，说，那有神的七灵和七星的，说，我知道你的行为，按名你是活的，其实是死的。
