“In nature, there's no blemish but the mind.”
天性裡本沒有醜,醜的是人心。
把醜從相貌挪到心裡,一句格言式的對照,替被嘲笑的人撐了腰。
there's no X but the mind
想說毛病出在心上、不在身體時用;對傷心的人別直接搬這句。
The fault is never in the face. / Ugliness lives in the mind, not the body.
literary
no blemish 稍停,but the mind 一字一字放慢。
In nature there is no blemish but the mind that mocks it. 天性裡沒有醜,醜的是那張嘲笑別人的嘴。
