Such solitary walks and scenes as that witnessed by Smith in the summer-house were frequent, but he courted her so intangibly that to any but such a delicate perception as Elfride's it would have appeared no courtship at all.

史密斯在避暑别墅里目睹孤独散步和场景是很常见， 但他对她追求是此无形， 以至于除了像埃尔弗里德样敏锐感知， 任何人都觉得根本没有求爱。

So instead of always just talking about God completely intangibly, it kinda gave me a way to relate to it.

所以， 与其总是抽象地谈论上帝，给了我一与联系方式。
