high-strung adj.緊張的,敏感的,易興奮的。

high-tail

Lack of experience, and the strain of arrogating to himself all the political and military authority of germany had told at last on a high-strung temperament, a very adept mind, and a fearsome will . 他一方面缺乏經驗,一方面又因獨攬德國的軍政大權而過于疲勞,這兩個因素最后終于對他那易于沖動的性格,那機敏的頭腦,那堅毅的性格發生了不利的影響。

I really believe that he was a finely organized high-strung man . 我的確相信他是一個天生文弱的神經過敏的人。
