我想他向那群本科生提供了出乎意料的魅力， 尽管他们在现实生松自在， 但对浪漫却充好奇。

What the first writer tried to accomplish by cutting rhetorical capers and by breeziness, the second writer managed to achieve by good reporting, by keeping a tight rein on his material, and by staying out of the act.

第一个作者试图少言辞上的夸张和松泼来实现，第二个作者则良好的报道、严格控制材料以及置身事外而成功地实现了这一目标。
