A project of this kind might have amounted to a series of brief eulogistic biographies of famous people.

此类项目可能相当于一系列简短的名人传记。

I sit down, fish the questions from my backpack, and go through them, inwardly cursing Kate for not providing me with a brief biography.

我坐下来，从我的背包皮里取出那些准备好的问题，我浏览这些问题，心中暗骂凯特，为什么不准备一个简历。
