試譯第二句

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.
釋義：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：同樣，一個打扮並不華貴卻端莊嚴肅而有美德者是令人肅然起敬的。　　
說明：原文的意思是：在如此如此的身體裏的virtue是best的，即如此如此的人最能顯示出virtue來；而何新譯文的意思則是：如此如此的人是如此。
試譯：故美德之光彩，非俊雅而不嬌豔、非端莊而不僅僅美豔之身軀不能盡顯。
==================
故盡顯美德之光彩者，俊雅之姿而非嬌柔之色，端莊之韻而非美豔之身。
