There was a sardonic grin on his face at the last words but it faded as Melanie turned up to him a face that blazed with gratitude.

瑞德说到最后几句话时，脸上露出了冷笑，但是他一看媚兰是以充满感激之情的脸相迎，他那冷笑的面孔也就消失了。

She missed him, missed his light flippant touch in anecdotes that made her shout with laughter, his sardonic grin that reduced troubles to their proper proportions, missed even his jeers that stung her to angry retort.

There was an interval after the third act and I went out to smoke a cigarette in the foyer over which presides Houdon's Voltaire with his toothless, sardonic grin. Someone touched me on the shoulder.

第三幕之后有一个休息时间，我出去在门厅里抽烟，门厅里主持着胡顿笔下的伏尔泰，他的牙齿掉了，露出讽刺的笑容。有人拍了拍我的肩膀。
