Kenny同志 Posted March 5, 2010 at 02:59 AM Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 at 02:59 AM (edited) The original might be 在没有人与人交接的场合，我充满了生命的欢悦。可是我一天不能克服这种咬啮性的小烦恼，生命是一袭华美的袍，爬满了蚤子。 by 张爱玲. I don't think it is a good sentence either grammatically or semantically. 一天 appears strange in the sencond sentence which, as you may have noticed, is incoherent. It might be better this way 可我还是不能克服这咬啮人的烦恼。生命是一袭华美的袍，爬满了蚤子。 But I still can not overcome such gnawing annoyance. Life is a magnificent robe, with fleas all over it.
