" v7 E6 E' Z" d: z1 z解析:

- G) X3 `' {1 |: M0 e  vThis sentence contrasts something positive (winning a “prestigious prize”) with something negative (the father’s absence), so it makes sense that the missing terms reflect Dahntay’s conflicted emotions. His joy, or “ebullience,” might certainly be curbed, or “tempered,” by the fact that his father could not be present for the special occasion.
