He won't limply surrender like some consumptive Romantic.
他才不会像那些得了肺痨的浪漫主义者那样轻易的向死亡投。
He became particularly attached to a consumptive young man who was on his way to a life term at hard labor. The story of the young man was a very short one. His father, a rich Southern landlord, died while he was a child.
他特别喜欢一个有肺结核的年轻人,他即将在艰苦的劳动中度过终身。这个年轻人的故事很短。他的父亲是一位富有的南方地主,在他还是个孩子的时候就去世了。
