But the mother, of all persons in Bridgeport, was not to be deceived, though she expressed her astonishment at the very striking likeness the Commodore bore to her son as he once looked.

白话

在布里奇波特,只有汤姆拇指的母亲没有被骗,但她惊讶于纳特和她儿子如此相像。汤姆拇指的妻子也附和说纳特像她兄弟,舍不得让他走。这说明即使亲近的人能看出区别,但相似度足以迷惑大多数人。巴纳姆的故事提醒我们,人们对相似性的判断往往受预期影响。

上下文
