1·For the transmittable thing in a story is the identifying essence, the characterising savour, the peculiar quality and point of view of the humour, pathos, or interest.
因为一个故事中可以传达的东西其实就是它和听众产生共鸣的同一性要素；描述的风味；它独有的特质；对于情绪的不同着眼点以及让人感伤的内容或者某种嗜好。
2·This savour our poets often made much of; leaving out the god in whose worship they were indulging.
我们的诗人常常特别重视此种风味，而遗漏了他们在敬神仪式中沉迷的那位神。
