沉闷地

A gray toad is hopping around on the mildewed muddy plot.

灰色的癞蛤蟆，在湿烂发霉的泥地里跳跃着；在秋雨的沉闷的网底，只有它是唯一的充满愉快的生气的东西。

Perhaps his presence gave the evening its peculiar quality of oppressiveness --it stands out in my memory from Gatsby's other parties that summer.

也许是由于他的在场，那次晚会有一种特殊的沉闷气氛——它鲜明地留在我记忆里，与那个夏天盖茨比的其他晚会迥然不同。

The shop-keepers speak in slow, measured tones, and the buyers, overwhelmed by the sepulchral atmosphere, follow suit .

布店的店主们一个个都是轻声轻气、慢条斯理的样子；买布的顾客们在这种沉闷压抑的气氛感染下，自然而然地也学着店主们的榜样，变得低声细语起来。

For example, at this week's Venice Film Festival opener, Burn After Reading , its star George Clooney wisely chucked the dour black-on-black Armani tuxedo that he claimed in 2006 to have worn for 10 years in favour of a classic narrow-lapel single-breasted model paired with a crisp white shirt and proper bow tie.

譬如，亮相本届威尼斯电影节开幕影片《阅后即焚》首映时，主演乔治·克鲁尼很聪明地放弃了那件沉闷的全黑阿玛尼tuxedo——这件礼服他曾在2006年宣称已穿了10年，而选择了经典的小翻领单排扣款式，搭配一件细亚麻白衬衫和得体的领结。

Standing on the platform, hearing a toneless sound rumbling close from the blackness beyond the platform and feeling a strong cold wind blowing into the face, I knew that the train was soon coming.

站在月台边上，听到月台尽头那端的黑洞洞里响起沉闷的轰隆声，伴随着一股冷风强劲地扑面而来，就知道马上会有一趟车进站了。

There was a confused tramping of horses' feet outside.

从外面远远地传来混乱而沉闷的马蹄声。

The crowd might have lost interest in this underrated stock, so dully and unerringly recommended by theologians and priests down the centuries, but Sir John bought it up on the firm expectation of stellar future earnings.

就像几百年来神学家和神父们沉闷然而正确的告诫一样，人们在购买这个被低估的股票时已经失去了他们应得的利益。但约翰爵士仍自信地为了未来的巨大收益全盘买下。

The sullen murmur of the bees shouldering their way through the long unmown grass, or circling with monotonous insistence round the dusty gilt horns of the straggling woodbine, seemed to make the stillness more opressive .

蜜蜂，有的在尚未刈倒的长草中间为自己开路，有的绕着枝叶散漫、花粉零落的金色长筒状忍冬花固执地打转，它们沉闷的嗡嗡声似乎使凝固的空气更加难以忍受。

Not that science and religions have ever successfully coexisted anyway, this opportunity to give people new hope and promise for a long, healthy life far supercede the droning, never ending debate of two entities that will never agree.

并不是说科学和宗教成功地共处，它给人们长久健康的生活带来新的希望和承诺，而不是双方沉闷的，无休止的争吵。

In one side, capitalism dredges human's basic instinct (sexuality, nourishment, sensation, etc) and explores the freedom continuously so creates the dull and wild conscience.

在一方面，资本主义疏通人类的基本本能，并探讨了自由，以便不断地创造了沉闷和野生良知。

It goes back to what I told you...

现在回到我告诉过你的。。。

With a supporter in Mr Charest and an admirer in Mr Dumont, Mr Harper may be encouraged to call an election himself.

由于在沙雷那边有个支持者，杜蒙那边有个崇拜者，鼓励哈珀为自己举行一次选举。
