不寒而栗
Shudder
The true genius shudders at incompleteness - and usually prefers silence to saying something which is not everything it should be.
真正的天才对不完整的东西感到不寒而栗——他通常宁愿保持沉默，也不愿说一些不应该说的话。
There is nothing that I shudder at more than the idea of a separation of the Union. Should such an event ever happen, which I fervently pray God to avert, from that date I view our liberty gone.
一想到要脱离联邦，我就不寒而栗。我虔诚地祈求上帝不要发生这样的事情，如果真的发生了，从那天起，我就会看到我们的自由消失了。
