查询词典 bafflingly

So our latter-day Tacitus may be tempted into supposing that the Oughty-Noughties traversed a route from orgiastic financial licence towards a corrective worldwide craving for firm leadership; hence the nearly messianic hopes invested in the 44th president (who has been, for many of his admirers bafflingly shy about grasping it).

因此，当代的塔西佗可能不由得认为，本十年穿越了这么一条路线：从狂乱的金融放纵，到纠正性的全球对坚强领导的渴求；因此人们近乎把美国第44届总统当作救世主，把希望寄托在他身上（对许多仰慕者来说，他令人困惑地羞于承受这种希望）。

We have no common name for a mime of Sophron or Xenarchus and a Socratic Conversation; and we should still be without one even if the imitation in the two instances were in trimeters or elegiacs or some other kind of verse--though it is the way with people to tack on 'poet' to the name of a metre, and talk of elegiac-poets and epic-poets, thinking that they call them poets not by reason of the imitative nature of their work, but indiscriminately by reason of the metre they write in.

索夫农 、森那库斯和苏格拉底式的对话采用的模仿没有一个公共的名称；三音步诗、挽歌体或其他类型的诗的模仿也没有——人们把&诗人&这一名词和格律名称结合到一起，称之为挽歌体诗人或者史诗诗人，他们被称为诗人，似乎只是因为遵守格律写作，而非他们作品的模仿本质。

The relationship between communicative competence and grammar teaching should be that of the ends and the means.
