对安迪的神态描写极为传神贴切：
It was a slight lightening, a gleam of his special ironic humor.
...as if he was wearing one of his three-piece banker' suits instead of...
...was to beat Andy within an inch of his life.
(描写weak 'sister') He got to be like a high wind in the summertime, all bluster and no bite.
His lip was swelled up so big it looked like a summer sausage ,his right eye was swollenhalf-shut... turn up with bruises on his face...
He seemed over-charged, a man on the verge of blowing his radiator.
He was blushing just like a kid trying to get into a kootch show.
