[Vividity's] ugliness is no doubt its misfortune rather than its fault ; but it is as natural to prefer vividness to it as to choose the one of two otherwise equal applicants who does not squint. [Fowler, "Modern English Usage," 1926]
[Vividity的丑陋无疑是它的不幸而非错误;但选择vividness而不是它,就像选择两个其他条件相等的申请者中不眯眼的那个一样自然。[Fowler, "Modern English Usage," 1926]
