Oppenheimer, he wrote, “was a man of great talent and I was conscious of his superiority in a way which was embarrassing and led to trouble...” 他写道：“奥本海默是伟大的天才，我从一件令人尴尬并惹麻烦的事上意识到他多么与众不同。” Unit8改写Paragraph 2 Paragraph 3 He rarely spoke, but when he did, it was always with extraordinary precision and often with devastating effect. 他很少说话，但一旦开口，他的话往往极为精确，而且常常具有压倒一切的威力。 As interesting as it might have been to hear the responses, this did not seem to be the sort of anecdote that would go over especially well at a conference devoted to poetry. 尽管听听人们对此如何应答会很有意思，可是这样的段子在以诗歌为主题的研讨会上讲恐怕不合时宜。 Pitted against these excellent reasons for my not going to the conference were two others that finally carried the day.虽然有了以上那些冠冕堂皇的不去的理由，可是有两条理由最终还是让我启程了。 She was finding it pretty rough going.她逐渐觉得异常艰难，毫无进展。 = She was finding that it was terribly hard to make progress in writing.
