its details were not apparent, but I traced the general points of middle height and considerable breadth of chest.
他的脸部看不大清楚，但我捉摸得出，他大体中等身材，胸膛很宽。
He had a dark face, with stern features and a heavy brow.
他的脸庞黝黑，面容严厉、眉毛浓密。
his eyes and gathered eyebrows looked ireful and thwarted just now.

I felt no fear of him, and but little shyness.
我觉得自己并不怕他，但有点儿腼腆。
Had he been a handsome, heroic-looking young gentleman,
要是他是位漂亮笑俊的年轻绅士，
I should not have dared to stand thus questioning him against his will, and offering my services unasked.
我也许不会如此大胆地站着，违背他心愿提出问题，而且不等他开口就表示愿意帮忙。

我几乎没有看到过一位漂亮的青年，平生也从未同一位漂亮青年说过话。
I had a theoretical reverence and homage for beauty, elegance, gallantry, fascination.
我在理论上尊崇美丽、高雅、勇敢和魅力。
But had I met those qualities incarnate in masculine shape,
但如果我见到这些品质体现有男性的躯体中，
I should have known instinctively that they neither had nor could have sympathy with anything in me,
那我会本能地明白，这些东西没有，也不可能与我的品质共鸣、
and should have shunned them as one would fire, lightning, or anything else that is bright but antipathetic.
那我也会像人们躲避火灾、闪电、或者别的虽然明亮却今人厌恶的东西一样，对它们避之不迭。
If even this stranger had smiled and been good-humoured to me when I addressed him.
如果这位陌生人在我同他说话时微笑一下，并且对我和和气气。
