Sure, there have been exceptions (say, Matisse's The Dance), but it would not be a stretch to say that for the past century or so, serious art has been at war with happiness.

当然也有些例外（比如，马蒂斯的《舞蹈》），但可以毫不牵强地说，在过去的大约一个世纪里，严肃艺术一直与快乐相冲突。1824年，贝多芬完成了《欢乐颂》。1962年，小说家安东尼·伯吉斯在《发条橙》中将它作为书中极端粗暴的反英雄最喜欢的乐曲。

You must except, nevertheless, Marcus Antonius, the half partner of the empire of Rome, and Appius Claudius, the decemvir and lawgiver; whereof the former was indeed a voluptuous man, and inordinate; but the latter was an austere and wise man: and therefore it seems that love can find entrance, not only into an open heart, but also into a heart well fortified, if watch be not well kept.

你可以看到，一切真正伟大的人物（无论是古人、今人，只要是其英名永铭于人类记忆中的），没有一个是因爱情而发狂的人：因为伟大的事业抑制了这种软弱的感憎。只有罗马的安东尼和克劳底亚是例外。前者本性就好色荒淫，然而后者却是严肃多谋的人。

Then he began to speak, in somber, measured tones, a hint of the Appalachians like a knotty grain of wood beneath polished veneer.

接着，他开始以一种严肃、有节奏的语调讲话，我马上联想到了阿巴拉契亚山脉上的木材，他就像被打磨后的薄木材下多节的纹理。

If he isn't a serious person, or he is a approachable and easygoing people.
