> それで一体どうしたのかね？どうにも **穏やかではなさそうだ** が

My question is about the meaning of 穏やかではなさそうだ in the above.

According to the man who asked him this, he found the protagonist fainted in
the park.

The translation in what I was watching was "you don't look particularly calm".

I've only seen 穏やか used in the context of not talking about people, but about
other things like...

> 電話で話せないこととは穏やかではなさそうだね

Is the translation correct or is 穏やかではなさそうだ referring to something else?

translation meaning
What does どうにも穏やかではなさそうだが mean
You can definitely use 穏やか to describe people/personalities. (A quick search
of `穏やかな人` on Google shows lots of hits.

If you look at the 2nd definition of 穏やか
[here](http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/jn/31486/meaning/m0u/) it says, which fits
the translation pretty well.

`２ 気持ちが落ち着いていて物静かなさま。「―な人柄」「―に話し合う」「心中―でない」`

穏やかでない "not moderate" is an euphemistic idiom that describes something
(usually about an event or a remark) is disturbing, ominous, abnormal, or
alarming.

In this case, though I don't know much about the context, it doesn't seem
likely to mean "(the character, behavior of) someone isn't calm". Maybe what
the speaker wants to tell is that the protagonist looks so badly hurt or
distressed, or himself foresees some grave complications behind the situation.
