profound


文句

From a distance, the Venue 8 and Venue 8 Pro look about the same. In fact, I ordered the Venue 8 in a red metallic finish just so I could tell it apart quickly from the Venue 8 Pro with its black, grooved finish. A closer comparison betrays a few more subtle differences. The two devices are equal in width, but the Venue 8 Pro is 5 mm taller and weighs 20 g (0.75 oz) more. At under 400 g each, the difference isn’t profound.

解釋

Venue 8 和 Venue 8 Pro 是 Dell 同時推出的平板。前者是安卓系統 （4.2版），後者則是微軟系統 （8.1）。


from a distance  遠觀（來說）

a metallic finish  金屬表面材質
a grooved finish  紋理表面材質

A closer comparison betrays a few more subtle differences.
進一步仔細比較便能顯示一些更細微的差別。這裡的 "betray" 不當作 "出賣" 或 "背叛"；作 "表示、顯示" 解。帶有 "隱匿、不易窺見" 的感覺，需進一步仔細的端倪，才會展示出特色或隱藏的訊息。 

profound 深遠。這裡指的是重量的差距。
