Peter also said he had a crush on the eldest hasty sister and had been rejected, while all the hasty children had mocked Peter for being educationally subnormal, as the British put it.

彼得还表示， 他对海斯蒂家的生了好感，但遭到了拒绝， 而海斯蒂家的孩子们都嘲笑彼得在学业上低于正常水，用英国人的话说， 就是“教育性低能” 。

Indeed it seems capable of remaining in a chronic condition of subnormal activity for a considerable period without any marked tendency either towards recovery or towards complete collapse.

事实上，它似乎能够在的一段时间内保持低于正常活动的慢性状态， 而没有任何明显的恢复或完全崩溃的趋势。
