📚 名著用例
We don't know how much they hide from us: how watchful they are when they seem most artless and confidential: how often those frank smiles which they wear so easily, are traps to cajole or elude or disarm — I don't mean in your mere coquettes, but your domestic models, and paragons of female virtue. 我们从来不知道她们有多少事瞒着我们。表面上她们天真烂漫地跟你说着知心话，其实她们提防着你。她们轻而易举地就能满脸挂上坦诚的笑容，其实这些笑容都是一个个陷阱，要哄你高兴，要你捉摸不透，要你心软。这些把戏不仅仅限于卖弄风情的女子，就连闺阁中的典范和最具妇德的贤良女性也都会玩一手。
