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，竟会干这种奇特工，自己好看外表遮掩？”

And a beholder might well have wondered how such a prepossessing set of young women of like size, age, and disposition, could have been collected together where there were only one or two villages to choose from.

旁观者会诧异，在这个周围只有一两个村庄地方，怎么会有这么多相同身高、年龄和气质动人姑娘聚集在一。
