脸上坚毅沉着，仿佛相信命中早已注定

　　A face as pale as wax

　　脸色蜡黄

　　A face tempered like steel

　　面色像钢板一样有韧性，不宜动怒

　　（注：tempered steel 回火钢）

　　A grim face like a carved mask

　　面目狰狞，像张雕刻的面具

　　A radiant look came over her face

　　她的脸上焕发了光彩

　　A smile flashed over her face, like sunshine over a flower

　　她脸上闪过一丝微笑，仿佛阳光掠过鲜花

　　Emotions flashed across her face

　　脸上掠过种种情绪

　　Her face changed with each turn of their talk,

　　like a wheat-field under a summer breeze

　　她的脸色随着他们谈话而变来变去，

　　好像夏季微风下的麦田

　　Her face collapsed as if it were a pricked balloon

　　一脸颓唐，好像泄了气的皮球

　　Her face was as solemn as a mask

　　脸色严肃像抹了石膏

　　Her face was dull as lead

　　脸色象铅一样了无生气

　　Her face was passionless,

　　like those by sculptor graved for niches in a temple

　　她的脸色不偏不倚，像神龛里雕塑家留下的塑像

　　Here and there a solitary volume greeted him

　　like a friend in a crowd of strange faces

　　（漫步书海）无论那里总有本孤孤单单，淹没书海的书像他招手，就像在一群陌生人当中找到了故交。
