“近乎侮辱的外貌描写”
用英语怎么说？

Rarely does a Talk take place in another country, and rarely does one tie a unique individual story to a news hook this convincingly. Heller chats with a roadside chaiwala, Mohammad Meraj, whose gas costs have more than tripled; he blends his usual style of borderline-insulting physical description with resigned quotes from Meraj. It’s world-widening, casual and clever - a model that the magazine could emulate more often. Let Brody cook! He functions best as an enthusiast of obscurities. Having him sub in for Chang on some wide-release trifle is a misuse of his talents; this is the sort of thing I want more of, a piece on an Iranian filmmaker that expertly summarizes that country’s New Wave, then uses that background to show how Mani Haghighi both fits into and subverts the expectations of that movement.

很少有访谈在国外进行，也很少有访谈能如此令人信服地将一个独特的个人故事与新闻热点联系起来。赫勒与路边的茶贩穆罕默德·梅拉杰聊天，后者的燃气成本增加了两倍多；他将自己一贯的近乎侮辱的外貌描写风格与梅拉杰无可奈何的引语融合在一起。这篇报道开阔眼界、轻松巧妙--是该杂志可以更频繁地模仿的典范。让布罗迪大展身手吧！他作为冷门事物爱好者的表现最佳。让他代替别人来评论一些广泛发行的小作是对他才华的浪费；我更想看到的是这样的文章：一篇关于伊朗电影制作人的文章，它专业地总结了该国的新浪潮，然后利用这一背景来展示马尼·哈吉吉是如何既融入又颠覆了期望的。
