and the artist had brought out the full effect of the lustrous black hair, the large dark eyes, and the exquisite mouth.
藝術(shù)家充分發(fā)揮了那光亮的黑發(fā)、又大又黑的眼睛和優(yōu)美的小嘴的感染力。
Holmes gazed long and earnestly at it. Then he closed the locket and handed it back to Lord St. Simon.

I met her several times, became engaged to her, and have now married her."

"She brought, I understand, a considerable dowry?"
"我聽說她帶來了一份相當可觀的嫁妝？"

"I really have made no inquiries on the subject."
"我確實沒有去過問這件事。"
"Very naturally not. Did you see Miss Doran on the day before the wedding?" "Yes."

"She was as bright as possible–at least until after the ceremony."
"她喜氣洋洋，高興極了，至少直到婚禮結(jié)束始終是這樣。"

"那么這以后你注意到她有什么變化嗎？"
"Well, to tell the truth, I saw then the first signs that I had ever seen that her temper was just a little sharp.
"啊，老實說，這時候我看到了我從前沒有看見過的第一個跡象。她的脾氣有些急躁。
The incident, however, was too trivial to relate and can have no possible bearing upon the case."

"Pray let us have it, for all that."
"盡管這樣，還是請你講講。"
