一个是皮埃尔不认识的胖胖的承包商①，另一个是商人的首领，面容消瘦，焦黄，留一撮山羊胡子。

One of them Pierre knew, a stout contractor; the other was the mayor, with a thin, yellow face and narrow beard.

在一次尝试中，一位白皮肤、山羊胡子的中年男子的对比结果竟然是年轻的黑人喜剧演员克里斯·塔克。旁观者们惊呼：“你知道么，我觉得你们挺像的。”

In one trial, a white, goateed, middle-aged man came up as most resembling the young black comedian Chris Tucker — and onlookers exclaimed, "You know, I can see that."

他脸相是掩饰骨子里悲哀的面具，但他的眼睛发亮，看似是个咯咯发笑的中国哲人的眼睛，横跨在那山羊胡子上用以抵消他英俊面容的粗野神态。

His face was a mask of woeful bone, but his eyes twinkled like the eyes of old giggling sages of China, over that little goatee, to offset the rough look of his handsome face.
