摘要
律师厄特森先生是个沉默寡言、严肃的人。在陌生人面前,他非常腼腆,不爱流露自己的情感,可当着朋友,他的眼睛总闪烁着关怀与真诚的光芒。虽然这种真与善他从不挂在嘴上,可他的待人处世能让人感觉到。在生活上,他从不放纵享乐,饮食随意、简单;即使很喜欢看戏,他也有20年没有进过剧院了。可是,他对别人的缺点却是宽容得不能再宽容了.
Mr Utterson the lawyer was a quiet,serious man.He was shy with strangers and afraid of showing his feelings.Among friends,however,his eyes shone with kindness and goodness.And,although this goodness never found its way into his conversation,it showed itself in his way of life.He did not allow himself many enjoyable things in life.He ate and drank simply and,although he enjoyed the theatre,he had not been to a play for twenty years.However,he was gentler towards other mens weaknesses,and was always ready to help rather than blame them.As a lawyer,he was often the last good person that evildoers met on their way to prison,or worse.These people often carried with them memories of his politeness and fairness.
