徒富

[anonymoose]

What does 徒富 mean? It's not in my dictionary.

The complete sentence (from this page) is 但是父亲认为他自己起的名字较为适宜，既不夸张，也不徒富诗意而失真实，致有矫揉造作的毛病，如“半亩园”便是。

In fact, if anyone could translate the whole sentence, that would be appreciated.

Thanks.

富 - abundant in

Thanks, skylee. That makes a bit more sense. I didn't realise they were to be interpreted separately.

you should break the sentence like this

也不·徒·富诗意·而·失真实

“徒”and “富”are separate, not one word

“富”should read with“诗意”

But father thought the name he made was more suitable; it's not flamboyant, nor just filled with poetic sense and had the problem of being pretentious, like "Half-Acre Garden".
