Any nobleness begins at once to refine a man's features, any meanness or sensuality to imbrute them.

任何崇高品，一开始就使一个人形态有所改善，任何卑俗或刻使他变成禽兽。

The only disabilities-it would be too harsh to call them sins-were torpor , incuriosity, or some excess of temperament, such as sensuality.

绝无仅有无能之辈--斥之为罪人似嫌过严--是麻木不仁者，或耽于声，放浪形骸之徒。
