The ladies are very fond of him,
女士们都很喜欢他,
though you would not think his appearance calculated to recommend him particularly in their eyes.
尽管你会认为,在她们眼里他的外貌并没有特别值得赞许的地方。
But I suppose his acquirements and abilities,
不过我猜想,他的学识、能力,
perhaps his wealth and good blood, make amends for any little fault of look.
也许还有他的财富和血统,弥补了他外貌上的小小缺陷。
Are there ladies at the Leas?
里斯地方有贵妇、小姐吗?
There are Mrs. Eshton and her three daughters — very elegant young ladies indeed.
有伊希顿太太和她的三个女儿 — 真还都是举止文雅的年轻小姐。
And there are the Honourable Blanche and Mary Ingram, most beautiful women, I suppose.
还有可尊敬的布兰奇和玛丽·英格拉姆,我想都是非常漂亮的女人。
Indeed I have seen Blanche, six or seven years since, when she was a girl of eighteen.
说实在我是六七年前见到布兰奇的,当时她才十八岁。
