peer agreement (net): +2ingeniosidad forzada estudiantil Explanation: "Sophomoric" quiere decir literalmente propio de "sophomores", que son estudiantes de segundo año en Estados Unidos. Creo que basta con "estudiantil": propio de estudiantes. "Wit" quiere decir agudeza, ingenio en el debate. "Leaden", en este contexto, significa pesado, falto de chispa, de ligereza, incluso torpe; es decir, que se esfuerzan demasiado por decir cosas brillantes y graciosas. En definitiva, forzado. |
