Nothing is more tiresome than a superannuated pedagogue.

没有什么比一个过时的教师更令人厌烦的了。

He could have spared a world of superannuated history, science, or politics, to have reversed better in waltzing.

他本可以避开一个陈旧的历史、科学或政治的世界，在华转得更好。

The husband's business was that of a gunmaker in a thriving city northwards, and his soul was in that business always; the lady was best characterized by that superannuated phrase of elegance 'a votary of the muse'.

丈夫的生意是在北方一个繁华的城市里做枪匠，他的灵魂一直都在做这个生意；这位女士的最大特点是优雅的“缪斯的追随者”这个过时的短语。

When I have written a phrase which undoubtedly embodies a happy turn of thought, I find it dressed up in feeble commonplace; and when the style is good, it serves only to conceal the baldness of superannuated fancies.

当我写了一个无疑体现了一种愉快的思想转变的短语时，我发现它披上了无力的平庸；当风格很好时，它只会掩盖陈旧幻想的秃头。
