Thank you very much. Here is the second part. I'm including the part I have to rephrase first.
Thank you.
1) "His hair was long and black"; " forehead very high and large, and a great vivacity and sparkling sharpness in his eyes", "skin .... of a bright kind of a dun olive colour... very agreeable"; "His face was round and plump; his nose small"; " a very good mouth, thin lips, and his fine teeth well set, and white as ivory".
2) His ivory white teeth are well set whereas his lips are thin.
3) Although Robinson describes Friday as a good-looking, healthy young man, yet he stresses that the features that make him a pleasant fellow are exactly those that most resemble a European’s (I need to simplify this).
4) He is said to have all the sweetness and softness of an European in his countenance.
5) As a matter of fact, Robinson praises him for not looking too much like a typical savage.
6) He mentions only very few negative physical traits of his new companion. Friday’s limbs are said to be not too large and his aspect not as fierce and surly (synonym) as it should be.
7) In addition, his hair is not curled like wool whereas his skin, though not quite black, is very tawny, yet not of an ugly yellow nauseous tawny.
8) His nose, though small, is not flat like that of the negroes. The reference to the “nauseous tawny” color of the Brazilian and Virginian Indian shows Robinson’s dislike of non-European races.
1) "His hair was long and black"; "forehead very high and large, and a great vivacity and sparkling sharpness in his eyes", "skin .... of a bright kind of a dun olive colour... very agreeable"; "His face was round and plump; his nose small"; "a very good mouth, thin lips, and his fine teeth well set, and white as ivory".
Rephrased:
- His hair was both lengthy and black in color.
- He had a broad and high forehead, with lively eyes that had a sharp and sparkling appearance.
- His skin had a pleasant and bright dun olive tone.
- His face was round and plump, with a small nose.
- He had a well-shaped mouth, featuring thin lips and beautiful teeth that were white like ivory.
2) His ivory white teeth are well set whereas his lips are thin.
Rephrase:
- While his teeth were perfectly placed and had a color resembling ivory, his lips were thin.
3) Although Robinson describes Friday as a good-looking, healthy young man, yet he stresses that the features that make him a pleasant fellow are exactly those that most resemble a European’s.
Simplified:
- Robinson acknowledges that Friday is an attractive and healthy young man, emphasizing that the characteristics that make him pleasant are similar to those of a European.
4) He is said to have all the sweetness and softness of a European in his countenance.
Rephrased:
- It is stated that his facial expression exhibits the sweetness and softness that is commonly associated with Europeans.
5) As a matter of fact, Robinson praises him for not looking too much like a typical savage.
Simplified:
- In fact, Robinson commends Friday for not resembling the stereotypical image of a savage.
6) He mentions only very few negative physical traits of his new companion. Friday’s limbs are said to be not too large and his aspect not as fierce and surly (synonym) as it should be.
Rephrased:
- Robinson only mentions a few negative physical attributes of his new companion. He notes that Friday does not have excessively large limbs and his overall appearance lacks the expected fierceness and hostility.
7) In addition, his hair is not curled like wool whereas his skin, though not quite black, is very tawny, yet not of an ugly yellow nauseous tawny.
Rephrase:
- Furthermore, Friday's hair is not curly like wool, and his skin, although not completely black, has a tawny complexion that is not unpleasantly yellow.
8) His nose, though small, is not flat like that of the negroes. The reference to the “nauseous tawny” color of the Brazilian and Virginian Indian shows Robinson’s dislike of non-European races.
Rephrased:
- Despite being small, Friday's nose is not flat like those of individuals from African descent. Robinson's mention of the "nauseous tawny" color associated with Brazilian and Virginian Indians demonstrates his prejudice against non-European ethnicities.
