A toothy grin (especially when there were gaps or blackened teeth) lacked class: drunks, tramps, and music hall performers might gurn and grin with a smile as wide as Lewis Carroll’s gum-exposing Cheshire Cat, but it was not a becoming look for properly bred persons.
露齿的笑(尤其是牙齿有缝隙或发黑时)显得缺乏格调:醉汉、流浪汉和杂耍剧场的演员可能会做鬼脸、咧嘴大笑,笑容宽得像刘易斯·卡罗尔笔下露出牙龈的柴郡猫,但对于有良好教养的人来说,这可不是得体的样子。
Even Mark Twain, a man who enjoyed a hearty laugh, said that when it came to photographic portraits there could be “nothing more damning than a silly, foolish smile fixed forever”.
