Hello everyone.
I'm reading How Do You Live? by Genzaburo Yoshino.
His uncle made a face as if to say he didn’t understand. At that,
Copper spoke quickly, in a pronounced voice. “People, Uncle—they
really are molecules, aren’t they? Today I really started to believe that.”
Under the dim light of the car, his uncle widened his eyes in surprise.
Didn’t Copper’s face seem exceptionally lively and intense?
Would you please tell me what his face seems exceptionally lively and intense means?
I am not sure which meaning of intense is meant.
Does it mean serious or enthusiastic?
Thanks ??
That's a terrible translation, you know. A lively face would be animated and would express eagerness and passion. An intense face would express deep feeling and strong emotion.
