despondent
And as for the vague something - was it a sinister or a sorrowful , a designing or a desponding expression ? - that opened upon a careful observer , now and then , in his eye , and closed again before one could fathom the strange depth partially disclosed ; that something which used to make me fear and shrink , as if i had been wandering amongst volcanic - looking hills , and had suddenly felt the ground quiver and seen it gape : that something , i , at intervals , beheld still ; and with throbbing heart , but not with palsied nerves 至于那種令人難以捉摸的東西那種表情是陰險還是憂傷，是工于心計還是頹唐沮喪，一個細心的旁觀者會看到這種表情不時從他目光中流露出來，但是沒等你探測暴露部分的神秘深淵，它又再次掩蓋起來了。那種神態過去曾使我畏懼和退縮，仿佛徘徊在火山似的群山之中，突然感到大地顫抖，看到地面裂開了，間或我還能見到這樣的表情，我依舊怦然心動，卻并未神經麻木。
