It radiated sourness and selfishness. 【23】但她的脸上没有任何表情，流露出来的都是傲慢和自私。She didnt realize what everyone knows: namely, the expression one wears on ones face is far more important than the clothes one wears on ones back. 她没有明白，一个人脸上的表情比那雍容华贵的打扮重要得多。Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says, “I like you. You make me happy. A am glad to see you.” 事实胜于雄辩，微笑着说：“我喜欢你，你让我快乐，很高兴见到你。”That is why dogs make such a hit. 【4】这就是狗狗如此讨人欢心的原因。They are so glad to see us that they almost jump out of their skins.
