The natural query of an observer would have been, 'Why should such a promising being as this have hidden his prepossessing exterior by adopting that singular occupation? '

“为什么像他这样一个大有前途人，竟会干这工作，而把自己好看外表遮掩起来？”

He was quite a young gentleman of pleasure now, and not quite a prepossessing one.

他现在是一位风度翩翩年轻绅士， 而不是一个讨人喜欢人。

" Ah! Madam, " replied Monsieur de Nemours, " I cannot keep the silence you enjoined me; you do me too much injustice, and make it appear too clearly that you are far from being prepossessed in my favour" .

The Duke beheld her beauty with wonder and admiration; and while his eyes were enchanted with her Form, the sweetness of her manners and her tender concern for the suffering Nun prepossessed his heart in her favour.

公爵对貌赞叹不已。当他眼睛被形象迷住了时，甜举止和对受苦修女温柔关怀使他对产生了好感。

Discourses so much out of the road could not avail anything, nor have any effect on men whose minds were prepossessed with different sentiments.

如此离经叛道谈话毫无用处， 对那些头脑中有不同观点人也没有任何影响。
