Question

如何翻译？His eye, which glared so strangely through his satin, was in itself attractive.

Answer 1

这句话出自托马斯.哈代的小说《还乡》（Thomas Hardy's novel, the Return of the Native）. 你这里的[satin]是笔误，原词是[stain].
His eye, which glared so strangely through his stain, was in itself attractive--keen as that of a bird of prey, and blue as autumn mist.
这是一个ruddleman (卖红土的小贩，农民给绵羊染色的颜料)，整个拉红土的车子是血红的，他全身的衣服也被stain的全是红色了。
他的眼眸透过周身的火烧红闪耀出奇怪的光芒，如此的迷人，如猛禽般敏锐，似秋雾般幽蓝。（本人试译，见笑。）
希望有所帮助。
