79.Magdalen's Appearance

Magdalen . .. was tall, both in figure and carriage... . Her beauty, however, was now destroyed, owing to her violent repentance and intense grief. She was, if not decidedly ugly, at least painful to look upon, on account of the unrestrained fury of her passions. Her garments, wet and stained with mud, hung torn and disordered around her; her long hair floated loose and dishevelled under her wet, tossed veil. She was perfectly changed in appearance. She thought of nothing but her grief, and looked almost like one bereft of sense. There were many people here from Magdalum and the surrounding country who had known her in her early splendor, who had seen her in her wasting life of sin, and who had lost sight of her in her long retirement. Now they pointed her out with the finger and mocked at her forlorn appearance. Yes, there were some from  Magdalum base enough even to throw mud at her as she passed along. But she did not notice it, so absorbed was she in her own sorrow.    (Vol. 4, pp. 222-223)

79. 玛达肋纳的外貌

玛达肋纳个子很高，身体匀称，然而，由于她强烈的痛悔和剧烈的悲伤，她的美貌现在已经毁了。她的容貌，如果不是十分丑陋的话，至少看起来是因痛苦而扭曲的。她的衣服是湿漉漉的，沾满了污泥，撕裂而凌乱地裹在身上。她的长发在湿漉漉的面纱下蓬乱的飘散着。她的容貌完全变了。她除了伤心，什么也不想，看起来几乎就像一个失去理智的人。这里有许多人从玛格达伦和周围的乡村来，他们在她早年的辉煌时期就认识了她，见过她在罪恶中虚度光阴，但在她长期隐退之后，他们就再也看不到她了。现在他们用手指指着她，嘲笑她那可怜的样子。是的，有一些来自玛格达伦基地的人，甚至在她经过时朝她扔泥巴。但她并没有注意到，因为她正沉浸在悲伤之中了。 （第 4 卷，第 222-223 页）
