By a glance of mingled scorn and anger She reproved his pusillanimity, but She spoke not.
她用混合着轻蔑和愤怒的眼神谴责他的怯懦, 但她没有说话。
the spirit of laws 论法的精神 孟德斯鸠 by Tom
Moderation is therefore the very soul of this government; a moderation, I mean, founded on virtue, not that which proceeds from indolence and pusillanimity.
