He turned into what Kierkegaard would call the aesthete — a man who has become hypersensitive to his potential, settling for nothing and only chasing bass pleasures and the momentarily interesting.

他变成了克所说的那种主者——一个自己潜力极度敏感的人，他再也无法被满足，疯狂追求低级而短暂的欢愉。

Was he at heart an aesthete, happiest making music in beautiful buildings among works of art?

从本质上讲他是不是一个主者，置身于华的厅堂上，徜徉于艺术珍品之中，摆弄音乐，陶醉无比？

I think also he's a fascinating combination of esthete and technician himself.

我认为他本人也是一位迷人地结合了主者与技术专家的人物。

Mariana's contempt for aestheticism was no less strong than his, but for all that the main reason why she did not accept Markelov was because there was not the slightest trace of the aesthetic in his nature!

玛丽安娜主的蔑视程度不亚于他，但尽管如此，她之所以不接受马克洛夫，最主要的原因还是因为他的本性中没有丝毫审的痕迹！

And conversely, there is an interior light that can transfigure forms that the pure aesthetician would regard as imperfect or downright ugly.

相反，有种心灵的光芒可以把纯主者们认为有缺陷或简直是丑陋的外形变得好。
