What does 我正好是诗情勃发 mean in the Chinese translation of Roald Dahl's Matilda (p.2)? I went to a library the other day and found Roald Dahl's Matilda.  I started reading, and I found what I think might be a typo (but maybe not---Roald Dahl has a quirky writing style):



My transcription:


  如果那天我正好是诗情勃发，我还可能这么写：”虽说稀奇，却是事实，...  


Here's my attempt at disassembling this:


  If [如果] that day [那天], I [我] just enough [正好] am [是] poem [诗] emotion [情] break out [勃发], I [我] still [还] can [可能] write this way [这么写]: "although [虽说] it's odd [稀奇], but [却] it is [是] a fact [事实], ...


I'm just wondering how to make sense of this, particularly the part in bold.

Question:  What does 我正好是诗情勃发 mean in the Chinese translation of Roald Dahl's Matilda (p.2)?
The original English (p. 4) of 如果那天我正好是诗情勃发 is:


  "Or if I were feeling lyrical that day."


Your breakdown is okay. 诗情 is a word of its own though, it is defined by ABC as:


  poetic sentiment


You might even make a case for 诗情勃发 as a single term.

Chinese translations of English works are notoriously bad in general and this translation doesn't seem any more natural.
