一目了然，下一个工人是亚当的兄弟。 他几乎一样高。 具有相同类型的特征，相同的头发和肤色。 但是，家庭相似的力量似乎只能使形式和面孔表达的显着差异更加明显。 塞思宽阔的肩膀有些弯曲。 他的眼睛是灰色的； 他的眉毛比他哥哥的眉毛少，安静得多。 他的目光不是坦率的，而是坦率的和良性的。 他甩开纸帽，您会发现他的头发不像亚当的头发那样浓密而笔直，但又细又卷，这使您可以辨别冠状弓的确切轮廓，该轮廓在眉毛上占主导地位。 一目了然，下一个工人是亚当的兄弟。 他几乎一样高。 具有相同类型的特征，相同的头发和肤色。 但是，家庭相似的力量似乎只能使形式和面孔表达的显着差异更加明显。 塞思宽阔的肩膀有些弯曲。 他的眼睛是灰色的； 他的眉毛比他哥哥的眉毛少，安静得多。 他的目光不是坦率的，而是坦率的和良性的。 他甩开纸帽，您会发现他的头发不像亚当的头发那样浓密而笔直，但又细又卷，这使您可以辨别冠状弓的确切轮廓，该轮廓在眉毛上占主导地位。

In this essay, originally published anonymously in The Westminster Review (1856), George Eliot examines the state of women's fiction in her time. She lamentingly argues that absurd and banal novels, written by well-to-do women of her time, do great disservice for the overall appreciation of women's intellectual capacities within society.Eliot divides "silly novels by lady novelists" into several distinct categories: the mind-and-millinery species, the oracular type and the white-neck-cloth variety. She writes with characteristic sharp wit and insightful intellect in this scathing (but not unfeeling) feminist critique of "Silly Novels by Lady Novelists".
