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.

荒原这个地方，眼下与人全协调一致——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，默默忍耐着；它单调不变黝黑巨大无比，神秘莫测，尤为奇特。

It was perfectly accordant with that resolution of character which I knew her to possess; and the secrecy she had maintained, as to any such design in her former letter, was equally descriptive of its anxious delicacy.

这全符合我知道她所具有种格决心;而她在前一封信中对任何此类设计所保持保密，同样描述了其令人焦虑微妙之处。
