For as her natural face decays, her skill improves in making the artificial one. Well, nothing diverts me more than one of those fine, old, dressy things, who thinks to conceal her age by everywhere exposing her person; sticking herself up in the front of a side-box; trailing through a minuet at Almack's; and then, in the public gardens looking, for all the world, like one of the painted ruins of the place. [Goldsmith, "The Good Natured Man," 1768]
随着她自然面容的衰退,她在化妆技巧上却越来越娴熟。其实,我最喜欢的就是那些华丽的老女人,她们试图通过到处裸露自己的身体来掩饰年龄;她们在侧盒的前面自我展示;在阿尔马克的舞会上拖着裙子跳小步舞;然后在公共花园里,看起来就像那些被涂抹的废墟。 [戈德史密斯,《善良的天性人》,1768年]
