I know a man who has a large collection of portraits printed from photographs of the nineteenth century, and going over those and comparing them with the everyday faces in these times, puts the improvement in our good looks beyond a doubt.

我认识一个人，他收藏了大量从 19 世纪的照片中打印出来的肖像，仔细阅读这些肖像并将它们与那个时代的日常面孔进行比较，毫无疑问我们的美貌得到了改善。
