04 Mrs Twit

Mrs Twit Mrs Twit was no better than her husband. She did not, of course, have a hairy face. It was a pity she didn't because that at any rate would have hidden some of her fearful ugliness. Take a look at her. Have you ever seen a woman with an uglier face than that? I doubt it. But the funny thing is that Mrs Twit wasn't born ugly. She'd had quite a nice face when she was young. The ugliness had grown upon her year by year as she got older.

推特太太不比她丈夫好多少。 当然，她脸上没有毛。 遗憾的是她没有这样做，因为无论如何，这样做会掩盖她那可怕的丑陋。 看看她。你见过比她更丑的女人吗? 我很怀疑。但有趣的是，特威特太太并不是生下来就丑。 她年轻的时候长得很漂亮。 随着年龄的增长，这种丑陋的东西一年比一年多。

Why would that happen? I'll tell you why. If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until it gets so ugly you can hardly bear to look at it. A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.

为什么会这样?我来告诉你为什么。 如果一个人有丑陋的思想，它就会开始表现在脸上。 当这个人每天、每周、每年都有丑陋的想法时，这张脸就会变得越来越丑，直到丑到让你几乎不忍直视。 有好的思想的人永远不会丑陋。 你可以有歪鼻子、歪嘴、双下巴和突出的牙齿，但如果你有好的想法，它们就会像阳光一样从你的脸上散发出来，你将永远看起来很可爱。

Nothing shone out of Mrs Twit's face. In her right hand she carried a walking-stick. She used to tell people that this was because she had warts growing on the sole of her left foot and walking was painful. But the real reason she carried a stick was so that she could hit things with it, things like dogs and cats and small children. And then there was the glass eye. Mrs Twit had a glass eye that was always looking the other way.

特威特太太的脸上没有一丝光芒。 她右手拿着一根手杖。 她过去常常告诉别人，这是因为她的左脚脚底长了疣，走路很疼。 但她带着棍子的真正原因是她可以用它打东西，比如狗、猫和小孩。 然后是玻璃眼。 特威特太太有一只玻璃眼睛，总是看向另一个方向。
