enervating

The downside: The city is still unaffordable for many, and the less-pricey suburbs can impose enervating commutes.

不利方面：对许多人来说生活成本仍然太高，郊区房价虽然没那么贵，但上下班很累。

I think of Napoleon at St. Helena, and of Byron growing morose and fat in the enervating climate of Italy.

我想到了圣·海伦那岛上的拿破仑，想到了拜伦在令人感到懒洋洋的意大利气候中变得乖戾和臃肿。

The air of the place, so fresh in the spring and early summer, was stagnant and enervating now.

这个地方的空气，在春天和初夏都非常清新，而现在却变得呆滞和使人困倦了。

They provoke the enervating lust that brings life into being.

它们激起了正在削弱的活力，使生命形成。
