试译第二句

原文：and surely virtue is best, in a body that is comely, though not of delicate features; and that hath rather dignity of presence, than beauty of aspect.
释义：and virtue is surely the best when it is in a body that is comely but not of delicate features and that has rather dignified appearance but not of peripheral beauty.
何新：同样，一个打扮并不华贵却端庄严肃而有美德者是令人肃然起敬的。　　
说明：原文的意思是：在如此如此的身体里的virtue是best的，即如此如此的人最能显示出virtue来；而何新译文的意思则是：如此如此的人是如此。
试译：故美德之光彩，非俊雅而不娇艳、非端庄而不仅仅美艳之身躯不能尽显。
==================
故尽显美德之光彩者，俊雅之姿而非娇柔之色，端庄之韵而非美艳之身。
