斯嘉麗 Scarlett
出處：《飄》(Gone with the Wind)
作者：瑪格麗特·米切爾 (Margaret Mitchell)
Scarlett O'Hara was not beautiful, but men seldom realized it when caught by her charm as the Tarleton twins were.
那斯嘉麗·奧哈拉小姐長得並不美，可是極富於魅力，男人見了她，往往要著迷，就像塔爾頓家那一對雙胞胎兄弟似的。
But it was an arresting face, pointed of chin, square of jaw.
可是質地雖然不調和，她那一張臉蛋兒卻實在迷人得很，下巴頦兒尖尖的，牙床骨兒方方的。
Her eyes were pale green without a touch of hazel, starred with bristly black lashes and slightly tilted at the ends.
她的眼珠子是一味的淡綠色，不雜一絲兒的茶褐，周圍豎著一圈兒粗黑的睫毛，眼角微微有點翹。
Above them, her thick black brows slanted upward, cutting a startling oblique line in her magnolia-white skin - that skin so prized
by Southern women and so carefully guarded with bonnets, veils and mittens against hot Georgia suns.
上面斜豎著兩撇墨黑的蛾眉，在她那木蘭花一般白的皮膚上，劃出兩條異常惹眼的斜線。就是她那一身皮膚，也正是南方女人最最喜愛的，誰要長著這樣的皮膚，就要拿帽子、面罩、手套之類當心保護著，捨不得讓喬治亞那大熱的太陽曬黑。
達西 Darcy
出處：《傲慢與偏見》(Pride and Prejudice)
作者：簡·奧斯汀 (Jane Austen)
His friend Mr Darcy soon drew the attention of the room by his fine, tall person, handsome features, noble mien, and the report
which was in general circulation within five minutes after his entrance, of his having ten thousand a year.
他的朋友達西先生立刻引起全場的注意，因為他身材魁偉，眉清目秀，舉止高貴，於是他進場不到五分鐘，大家都紛紛傳說他每年有一萬磅的收入。
The gentlemen pronounced him to be a fine figure of a man, the ladies declared he was much handsomer than Mr Bingley.
男賓們都稱讚他一表人才，女賓們都說他比彬格萊先生俊美得多。
And he was looked at with great admiration for about half the evening, till his manners gave a disgust which turned the tide of his
popularity; for he was discovered to be proud; to be above his company, and above being pleased.
人們差不多有半個晚上都帶著愛慕的目光看著他。最後人們才發現他為人驕傲，看不起人，巴結不上他，因此對他起了厭惡的感覺，他那眾望所歸的極盛一時的場面才黯然失色。
羅切斯特 Rochester
出處：《簡·愛》(Jane Eyre)
作者：夏洛蒂·勃朗特 (Charlotte Bronte)
His figure was enveloped in a riding cloak, fur collared and steel clasped; its details were not apparent, but I traced the general
points of middle height and considerable breadth of chest.
他身上裹著騎手披風，戴著皮毛領，繫著鋼扣子。他的臉部看不大清楚，但我依稀辨認得出，他大體中等身材，胸膛很寬。
He had a dark face, with stern features and a heavy brow; his eyes and gathered eyebrows looked ireful and thwarted just now; he
was past youth, but had not reached middle-age; perhaps he might be thirty-five.
他的臉龐黝黑，面容嚴厲、眉毛濃密；他的眼睛和緊鎖的雙眉看上去剛才遭到了挫折、並且憤怒過。他青春已逝，但未屆中年，大約三十五歲。
於連 Julien
出處：《紅與黑》(The Red and the Black)
作者：司湯達 (Stendhal)
He was a lad eighteen or nineteen years of age, small in stature, with irregular but delicate features, and of a constitution
apparently weakly.
他是個十八、九歲的瘦小青年，看起來羸弱，面部的輪廓也不大周正，但頗為清秀。
His nose was aquiline; and his large black eyes, which in quiet moments showed thought and vivacity, were ablaze now with the
fiercest hatred.
還有一個鷹勾鼻子。一雙大而黑的眼睛，靜時顯露出沉思和熱情。此刻卻閃爍著最兇惡的憎恨的表情。
His dark brown hair, growing very low on his forehead, gave him a narrow brow, that in moments of anger looked positively
wicked.
深褐色的頭髮長得很低，蓋住了大半個額頭，發怒的時候凶相畢露。
His face would hardly be remarked among the infinite variety of human countenances by any feature particularly striking.
他的容貌並不出眾，在芸芸眾生中並不會引人注目。
His slight, well-proportioned figure gave evidence more of agility than of strength.
他的身材修長而勻稱，更多地顯示出敏捷而非力量。
瑪格麗特 Marguerite
出處：《茶花女》(The Lady of the Camellias)
作者：小仲馬 (Alexandre Dumas, fils)
It was impossible to see more charm in beauty than in that of Marguerite...
瑪格麗特可真是個絕色女子……
Set, in an oval of indescribable grace, two black eyes, surmounted by eyebrows of so pure a curve that it seemed as if
painted;
在一張流露著難以描繪其風韻的鵝蛋臉上，嵌著兩隻烏黑的大眼睛，上面兩道彎彎細長的眉毛，純淨得猶如人工畫就的一般；
veil these eyes with lovely lashes, which, when drooped, cast their shadow on the rosy hue of the cheeks;
眼睛上蓋著濃密的睫毛，當眼帘低垂時，給玫瑰色的臉頰投去一抹淡淡的陰影；
trace a delicate, straight nose, the nostrils a little open, in an ardent aspiration toward the life of the senses;
細巧而挺直的鼻子透出股靈氣，鼻翼微鼓，像是對情慾生活的強烈渴望；
design a regular mouth, with lips parted graciously over teeth as white as milk;
一張端正的小嘴輪廓分明，柔唇微啟，露出一口潔白如奶的牙齒；
colour the skin with the down of a peach that no hand has touched, and you will have the general aspect of that charming
countenance.
皮膚顏色就像未經人手觸摸過的蜜桃上的絨衣——這些就是這張美麗的臉蛋給您的大致印象。
The hair, black as jet, waving naturally or not, was parted on the forehead in two large folds and draped back over the head,
leaving in sight just the tip of the ears, in which there glittered two diamonds, worth four to five thousand francs each.
黑玉色的頭髮，不知是天然的還是梳理成的，像波浪一樣地鬈曲著，在額前分梳成兩大綹，一直拖到腦後，露出兩個耳垂，耳垂上閃爍著兩顆各值四五千法郎的鑽石耳環。
