敷敷衍衍 meaning in English

elaborate expound

Christmas came and except for the high mass , the solemn and wearisome congratulations to neighbours and house - serfs , and the new gowns donned by every one , nothing special happened to mark the holidays , though the still weather with twenty degrees of frost , the dazzling sunshine by day and the bright , starlit sky at night seemed to call for some special celebration of the season
圣诞节节期到了，除开敷敷衍衍的午祷，除开邻人和家仆们的庄重而乏味的祝贺，除开人人穿上新衣裳而外，没有任何庆祝圣诞节日的特别的东西，在这无风的零下二十度的严寒中，在这冬夜的星光下，令人感到要庆祝这个节日的强烈愿望。
