To his surprise, the curtain opened and Miss Six came out saying Miss Pao was sick, had thrown up twice, and had just fallen asleep. He was at once?chagrined and embarrassed; he?said something lamely?and beat a hasty retreat.(美 Jeanne Kelly, Nathan K.Mao 译 –Fortress?Besieged) 翻译笔记： 无精打采* 文中译为：in low spirits；指情绪低落、意气消沉，形容精神当然还有很多译法：a lack of energy; listlessness; languor; deadness; laziness他的反义词精神抖擞：in high spirits; in fine figJone
