Less , of course , like a bank of daffodils and more like an irruption of dry rot : hidden , silent , pervasive , and a vast drain on national and universal wellbeing .

当然，不那么像一堆水仙花，而更像是干腐病的爆发：隐秘、沉默、大面积肆虐，对国家和全世界福祉带来巨大消耗。

But , there was no loud irruption into the court-yard , as he had expected , and he heard the gate clash again , and all was quiet .

可是并没有他所预料的冲进院子的喧嚣，大门反倒砰的一声关上了，一切又归于平静。

The irruption of spoken questions and demands breaks into my thinking self like a physical blow .

口头的提问和要求侵入在思考的我，就像对身体的重击。
