第6課：丑陋的?- 3

【迷你小對話1】

A: I heard that Mr. John’s wife is a little homely.
B: It’s true that she is no beauty, but she’s not quite ugly either. And what she lacks in looks she makes up for in sweetness.

A: 聽說John先生的妻子長相挺一般的。
B: 的確她不是什么美人，可也不算太丑。她的可愛彌補了她外表上的不足。

【迷你小對話2】

A: Did you decide to marry the young man, or not?
B: I decided not to. He is very rich, but he has an ill-favored face. I would always be wondering what would happen if I married someone more handsome.

A: 你決定嫁給那個年輕人還是不嫁？
B: 我決定不嫁。他雖然很有錢，但長得其貌不揚。那樣的話我會總是想，要是我嫁給一個帥一點兒的會怎么樣。
