求翻譯: She looked at me with a wondering distrust which was much more to my mind than her whole-h..?

完整句子:

She looked at me with a wondering distrust which was much more to my mind than her whole-hearted confidence.

此句來自 柯南?道爾的小說《The Lost World》的第一章。 主要背景是, 男主打算向一女的示愛, 被拒了。男主問她喜歡什麼樣的, 自己如何做才能讓她喜歡自己。 這話的前一句是:

"What can I do to mend it? Do sit down and talk it over. No, really I won"t, if you only sit down!"

我個人的疑惑是搞不懂為什麼這裡有比較級, 以及什麼比什麼?

先把上下文截取下來：

"But why can"t you love me, Gladys? Is it my appearance, or what?"

She did unbend a little. She put forward a hand--such a gracious, stooping attitude it was--and she pressed back my head. Then she looked into my upturned face with a very wistful smile.

"No it isn"t that," she said at last. "You"re not a conceited boy by nature, and so I can safely tell you it is not that. It"s deeper."

"My character?"

She nodded severely.

"What can I do to mend it? Do sit down and talk it over. No, really, I won"t if you"ll only sit down!"

She looked at me with a wondering distrust which was much more to my mind than her whole-hearted confidence. How primitive and bestial it looks when you put it down in black and white!--and perhaps after all it is only a feeling peculiar to myself. Anyhow, she sat down.

"Now tell me what"s amiss with me?"

"I"m in love with somebody else," said she.

這樣就看的比較清楚了。

She looked at me with a wondering distrust which was much more to my mind than her whole-hearted confidence.

她將信將疑地看著我，與其說是懷疑自己聽錯了，不如說是懷疑我的頭腦有問題。

distrust to sth. 對某事不信任
