sallow

• And he recalls every word uttered at that first interview with potyomkin . and then he sees a plump , short woman with a sallow , fat face , the mother empress , her smiles and words at her first gracious reception for him ; and then her face as she lay on the bier , and the quarrel with zubov over her coffin for the right to kiss her hand
  从而他回想起和波将金初次见面时所说的话，这时他眼前又出现那位个儿不高，胖脸蜡黄的皇太后，第一次亲切地接见他时露出的笑容和她说的话同时他又回想起来她在灵台上的面容，以及在御棺傍边为了吻她的手的权利而与祖博夫之间发生冲突的情景。
