Then, perhaps, —for there was no foreseeing how it might affect her, —Pearl would frown, and clench her little fist, and harden her small features into a stern, unsympathizing look of discontent.

然后，也许——因为无法预见这会对她产生怎样的影响——珀尔会皱起眉头，握紧她的小拳头，让她的小五官变得严厉、冷漠、不满。

The secret of our emotions never lies in the bare object, but in its subtle relations to our own past: no wonder the secret escapes the unsympathizing observer, who might as well put on his spectacles to discern odours.

我们情绪的秘密从来不在于裸露的物体，而在于它与我们自己的过去的微妙关系：难怪这个秘密逃脱了冷漠的观察者，他们不妨戴上眼镜来辨别气味。
