哈哈。菲菲，你像剃刀一样锋利！我的意思是你又聪明又机敏。

Well, perhaps there was no first-rate post vacant just then in the city, and Eleseus, perhaps, was not as sharp as a razor in pushing his way. Heaven knows—perhaps he wasn't over clever at his work either. Write?

好吧，也许当时城里没有一流的职位空缺，而 Eleseus 在推进他的道路上也许并不像剃刀一样锋利。天晓得——也许他的工作也不过分聪明。写？
