大意是指:
"魅力之所在, 在其大方/慷慨/文雅/有教養的表現, 不在其虛有美的外表。"

"Handsome is 'as' handsome does."
= "Handsome is 'that' handsome does."

The word "handsome" denotes chivalrous or genteel behaviour, though it is often popularly taken to refer to good looks. At its second occurrence in the proverb the word is properly an adverb. .........
