Her father's face had suddenly tightened as though he was being strangled by invisible hands.
她父亲的脸突然僵硬了,仿佛是被无形的双手扼住了脖子。
He kept silent , eating just as conscientiously but as though everything tasted alike.
他一声不吭, 闷头吃着,仿佛桌上的饭菜都一个味儿.
She pursed her lips together, as though fearing to betray her news.
He likes to talk big as though he was an important person.
They felt as though they had done something discreditable and unclean.
