Rufe had tried to do what nobody had done, or could do, while he was alive. Anyway, he was reckless, and he cared little if war did come again. Still, the old man prepared for a fight, and Steve Marcum on the other shore made ready for Rufe's return.英文原著 · 《A Cumberland Vendetta》
The streets were a bedlam. The Stetsons were yelling with triumph. The Lewallens were divided, and Rufe placed three Stetsons with Winchesters on each side of the courthouse, and kept them firing. Rome, pale and stern, hid his force between the square and the Lewallen store. He was none too quick. The rest were coming on, led by old Jasper. It was reckless, riding that way right into death; but the old man believed young Jasper's life at stake, and the men behind asked no questions when old Jasper led them. The horses' hoofs beat the dirt street like the crescendo of thunder.英文原著 · 《A Cumberland Vendetta》

An instant later some object went swiftly past a side street-somebody on horseback-and a picket fired an alarm. The horse kept on, and Rome threw his rifle on a patch of moonlight, but when the object flashed through, his finger was numbed at the trigger. In the moonlight the horse looked gray, and the rider was seated sidewise.

The fact was, she was too clever for you, and you always disliked her for that reason. She used to see through us both--"英文原著 · 《A Little Princess》
He had been paid at the office that night, and he had the money -- a week's miserable pittance -- in his pocket. His every action revealed the fact that he was a novice in recklessness. His innocent face piqued the men within. They gave him a welcome that amazed him. Of course the rest of the evening was a chaos to him. The throat down which he poured the liquor was as tender as a child's. The men turned his head with their ironical compliments. Their boisterous good-fellowship was as intoxicat- ing to this poor young recluse as the liquor.英文原著 · 《A Mountain Woman》
The little school that the priest started had been long since abandoned. It was only the preservation of life that one thought of in these days. And recklessness had made the men desperate. To the ravages of dis- ease were added horrible murders. Moral health is always low when physical health is so.英文原著 · 《A Mountain Woman》
Wasted three seconds on that not sexist crap-- Can I add reckless to my prior list?美剧 · 《Billions》
- What? - Standard procedure these days when a star is assessed to be of a certain liability, like if there was a whole book written about what a reckless jackass he is, you make a digital replica of his head so you're not screwed if he goes all Belushi on you.美剧 · 《Bojack Horseman》
