《苔丝》词汇: disabuse, rumpus, lucubration

The “appetite for joy” which pervades all creation, that tremendous force which sways humanity to its purpose, as the tide sways the helpless weed, was not to be controlled by vague lucubrations over social rubric. 在万物中普遍存在这种“求欢的欲望”的本能,这是一种巨大无比的力量,人类都要受到它的摆布, 就像无奈的海草要受到潮水摆布一样,这是那些空谈社会道德的浮夸沉闷文章所左右不了的。
