A mere word, an unmeaning sound that fixes no impression on the mind.
一词, 一毫无意义声音, 不会在脑海中留下任何印象。
It was at present a place perfectly accordant with man's nature— neither ghastly, hateful, nor ugly; neither commonplace, unmeaning, nor tame; but, like man, slighted and enduring; and withal singularly colossal and mysterious in its swarthy monotony.
荒原这地方,眼下与人性情完全协调一致——既不可怖,又不可恨,也不难看;既不平庸,又不呆板,也不消沉;但和人一样,受到冷落,默默忍耐着;它那调不变黝黑巨大无比,神秘莫测,尤为奇。
