Appearance（名词）外观；出现

A160、场景再现：没钱就是没钱，没必要装门面，爱装门面的人挺可笑的。
It must be great to be rich and let other people keep up appearances.
自己有钱却让别人装门面，肯定太棒了！

A161、场景再现：appearance（露面；外貌）一词多义引起歧义：
Teacher: I’ve asked you to come in, Mrs. Smith, to discuss Johnny’s appearance.
Mrs. Smith: Why? What’s wrong with his appearance?
Teacher: He hasn’t made one in this classroom since September.
老师：Smith太太，我要你进来是要讨论一下Johnny的出现（外貌）问题。
Smith太太：为什么这么说呢？他的外貌有什么问题吗？
老师：九月份以来他还没有在教室里出现过。
注：这位太太的儿子好久不来上学了。
