Martin Chuzzlewit

What is exaggeration to one class of minds and perceptions, is plain truth to another.

对于一种心智和感知来说是夸张的，对于另一种来说却是不争的事实。

I conceive that the sordid coarseness and brutality of Jonas would be unnatural, if there had been nothing in his early education, and in the precept and example always before him, to engender and develop the vices that make him odious.

我认为乔纳斯的粗俗和野蛮如果不是因为他的早期教育以及始终摆在面前的教导和榜样，滋生和发展了他的恶习，使他变得可憎，那么这是不自然的。
