"contrive" and "stilted" 又是我!

今天做單字練習…

Often the background is martial, and frequently a happy ending is contrived. Filled with ranting speeches in rhymed couplets, the plays now seem hopelessly stilted.

Often the excuses are awkward, and frequently a frivolous remark ensues. Filled with lofty air and snobbish characters, the soap opera seem hopelessly stilted.

Often the setting is multicultural, and frequently an inbetweenness is given as a guideline. Filled with detesting descriptions and flat characters, the novel seems hopelessly stilted.
