臺灣籍旅美老師今天交給我們的句子是：

Victorians were not constantly miserable -- they just usually got serious when they thought a portrait was being taken. As cameras became more common and photography improved, aesthetics changed and smiles returned.

維多利亞時期的人們并非過得很凄慘，他們只是通常會在拍照時，板著一張臉。自從相機變得越來越普遍且攝影技術越來越進步后，審美觀就改變了，相片中人們的笑容也回來了。
