[請益] swagger plain 在文中的意思

[norge (Boston)]

  在一篇關於 Terry O'Neill 的訃文中

  That picture earned him 25 quid. More to the point, it
  suggested a good way of approaching the stars. He would
  look for their human, vulnerable side, set things up,
  unobtrusively if he had to (his presence, like his voice,
  was always soft), and then start shooting. As he did, a
  dove settled by the bare white shoulder of Audrey Hepburn.
  Paul McCartney, playing the piano in a bar, suddenly raised
  his eyes to heaven as if amazed by the sound. Steve McQueen
  let his features relax as he took a phone call from a friend.
  Stars lounged and drowsed: Muhammad Ali with a newspaper,
  Peter Cook in his old mac on a lilo in a Hollywood pool.
  Best of all was to be allowed to tag along with a star for
  days, a fly on the wall, until they forgot that a photographer
  was there. He got such access with Frank Sinatra, who simply
  told his mafiosi minders, “The kid’s with me,” and whom he
  snapped strolling on the boardwalk in Miami Beach, still with
  his guard up but with all his swagger plain.

  最後一行 with all his swagger plain 要怎麼理解比較好呢？


  At heart he was ever the industrious Essex lad, working every
  day of the week. He didn’t like holidays. He also loathed digital
  photography, which was junk and a joke, and any sort of touching-up,
  which made him feel sullied. To the end, he clung to film cameras
  and to black-and-white as the best there was.

  另外，這一段第4行中的 sullied 要怎麼理解比較好呢？

  字典中 sully 有「弄髒；玷汙；使丟臉」的意思

推 cuylerLin: 第二個問題，看前面幾句有loath字眼，你應該猜得出來意
→ cuylerLin: 思，同樣在你上一篇的問題我提過可以先查英英字典：
→ cuylerLin: make dirty or spotty, as by exposure to air; also
→ cuylerLin: used metaphorically.
→ norge: 謝謝c大 feel sullied 如果翻成"感到被弄髒"可以嗎？
→ cuylerLin: 我們不是作者，無法知道確切意思，但我覺得都有，他覺
→ cuylerLin: 的任何的潤飾都不真實，覺得"髒髒的"的這種髒，或者他
→ cuylerLin: 內心也覺得如果做了這種作品，等於玷汙了自己的這種髒
→ norge: 謝謝c大!
