Mr. Ramsay says we would now call the old dogs "bitchy" in face. That is because the Englishmen have gone in for the wrong sort of forefaces in their dogs, beginning with the days when Meersbrook Bristles and his type swept the judges off their feet and whiskers and an exaggerated face were called for in other varieties of terriers besides the wire haired fox. [James Watson, "The Dog Book," New York, 1906]
拉姆齐先生说,我们现在会称老狗的脸为“bitchy”。这是因为英国人在他们的狗中走了错误的路,从米尔斯布鲁克·布里斯托尔斯和他的同类开始,他们席卷了裁判和胡须,其他种类的梗犬除了刚毛猎狐犬之外,也需要夸张的面部特征。[詹姆斯·沃森,《狗书》,纽约,1906年]
