No fuss was made in my day if a new writer took from an old one whatever material he found congenial.
在我那个时代, 如果一个新作家从一个老作家的作品中摘取了他能用的合适材料, 并不受到反对。
In the next year he obtained, through the good offices of an old friend, a post with a publishing firm which, though not highly paid, he found more congenial.
第二年, 通过一个老朋友帮忙, 他在一家出版公司谋到一个职位, 薪水虽不高, 却更令他感到惬意。
They are of congenial temper.
他们的性情相投。
