Such sinister high hokum might be ridiculous if McCarthy didn't keep it moving faster than the reader can pause to think about it.(如果麦卡锡的叙事速度还不及读者停下来思考的速度，那如此用心险恶的高谈阔论难免会让人觉得荒谬可笑。)
A true love is what doesn't strive for busyness, for extravagance, for luxury, and moreover for hokum.(真正的爱情是不讲究热闹不讲究排场不讲究奢华更不讲究噱头的。)
