My father was known to everyone in and out of the family as the somber bin laden boy who became increasingly occupied with religious teachings .
我的父亲是众所周知的忧郁的本拉丹男孩,他的思想越来越多地被伊斯兰教教义所占据。
The ideal geisha seemed carefree , the ideal wife somber and responsible .
理想中的艺妓无忧无虑,理想中的妻子会为责任而忧郁。
In writing somber stories , how did you keep yourself grounded , keep yourself from despair as you encountered the injustices you elucidate over and over again ?
