out of place? - 翻譯

最近翻譯遇到兩段問題：

He has come into the city to be interviewed.
Not that he looks out of place this close to Columbia University,
nor does he act that way---Carr is home, a native of the dirty
New York street and polyglot history he knows so well, and which he
described
so uncannily in his bestsellers "A" and "B".

試譯：
卡爾是特地來紐約接受訪問的，但他看起來卻像是個本地人，一舉一動都不會跟旁邊
的哥倫比亞大學不相稱，他非常了解紐約，在他的暢銷書《A》與《B》裡把紐約豐富
的歷史與髒亂的街道描寫得維妙維肖


The picture runs its course smoothly enough, with a few amusing
scenes and a whodunit plot that's mildly suspenseful, provided
you don't pay very close attention.

試譯:
《麻辣女王》的劇情整個很流暢，有搞笑、有懸疑。
(我本來是翻”有很好笑的段落，也多少有些懸疑”，但覺得太冗長)


希望有板友提供更好的意見與指教，謝謝大家。
