His lips are often discoloured and disfigured with the marks of teeth; for he has desperate fits, and sometimes even bites his hands and covers them with wounds—why did you start?

他的嘴唇常因牙印而变色和毁容；因为他脾气暴躁，有时甚至会咬自己的手，手上全是伤口——你为什么要动手？

And the floor was thick with the dust of decay, and the painted ceiling fading from all gay colors and light fancies of cupids in a career, and disfigured with sores of dampness, seemed transmuted into other work.

地板上积满了腐烂的灰尘，彩绘的天花板因职业生涯中所有的艳丽色彩和丘比特的轻幻想而褪色，并因潮湿而毁容，似乎已经变成了另一件作品。
