The book is chaotic; and we may attribute to the conditions of its production a quality of disorder, and at times a certain dryness of abstract analysis, which is increased by divisions and subdivisions after the manner of Stendhal.

这本书很混乱； 我们可以将其产生的条件归因于无序的性质， 有时还归因于抽象分析的某种枯燥， 这种情况随着司汤达的方式的划分和细分而增加。
