精彩解說:
Throughout the whole tortured history of their relationship, Elizabeth was eat up with curiosity about her cousin.
在她們之間千瘡百孔的關系中,伊麗莎白備受對她的表侄女瑪麗好奇心的折磨。
Mary trapped in a neurotic beauty contest, interrogating her ambassadors as if they were mirrors on the wall, as to who was the taller, fairer, wittier, the cleverer.
她總是忍不住要和她比美:總是詢問身邊的大使,把他們當成魔鏡似的——諸如誰更高,誰更美,誰更機智,誰更聰明。
Elizabeth may have won for brains, but from the few pictures we have of her, Mary, with her heart-shaped face, heavy eyelids and creamy complexion, evidently had the stuff to reduce grown men to warm puddles on the floor.
伊麗莎白在頭腦聰明方面可能更勝一籌,不過從我們手頭僅有的一些照片上來看:瑪麗那心形的臉龐,濃密的睫毛,奶油色的皮膚——明顯足以讓男人為之傾倒。
She was more than just competition, though. To Elizabeth, Mary, Queen of Scots, was a menace.
然而,她不僅僅是個不可小覷的對手.對伊麗莎白來說,蘇格蘭女王瑪麗是個威脅。
