埃爾頓先生重返海伯利村,帶回一個倉促求愛成婚的新娘。這位婦人小有資產,極其粗俗,卻偏偏矯揉造作,自命高雅。 Mr. Elton returned to the village with a hastily wooed and wedded bride, a lady of small fortune, extremely bad manners, and great pretensions to elegance.
她生活在嬌揉造作的世界里。 She lives in a world of make-believe.
她的散文過於矯揉造作。 Her prose is far too mannered and self-conscious.
