有些人的眼睛是“斜视的”，区别asquint, asquint, oblique, strabis

bac

小说里，很多负面人物，会被写成是个眼睛斜视的，怎么翻译呢？
It will not be singular if the man whose eyesare afflicted with strabismus hears an observation to the effect that "whenthe eyes look asquint, the heart is askew"; or if the man who has no hairis reminded that "out of ten bald men, nine are deceitful, and the otherwould be so also, were he not dumb." Such freaks of nature as albinos forman unceasing butt for a species of cheap wit, which appears never for aninstant to be intermitted.
