 Javascript feature

สตรีนางนั้นได้เปรียบตรงร่างสูงตรง ระเหินระหงงามในท่วงท่า
saL dtreeM naangM nanH daiF bpriiapL dtrohngM raangF suungR dtrohngM raH heernR raH hohngR ngaamM naiM thuaangF thaaF
The woman outmatched [everyone else] with her tall figure combined with her gracious manner.
หน้าตาแต่งแต้มอย่างประณีต ด้วยฝีมือชำนาญ
naaF dtaaM dtaengL dtaaemF yaangL bpraL neetF duayF feeR meuuM chamM naanM
Her facial features were arranged just perfectly [as if] with an expert hand.
เส้นผมยาวสลวยเลี้ยวไล่เคลียไหล่ ส่งใบหน้าให้ผุดผาดสวยซึ้ง
senF phohmR yaaoM saL luayR liaaoH laiF khliiaM laiL sohngL baiM naaF haiF phootL phaatL suayR seungH
The strands of her hair swung around, caressing her shoulders, [framing] her face to [display her] profound beauty.
จนวลีหนึ่งหลุดออกมา งามแฉล้มยิ้มเขินคล้ายเชิญชวน ผิวหน้านวลงามกระจ่างกลางแสงไฟ
johnM waH leeM neungL lootL aawkL maaM ngaamM chaL laaemF yimH kheernR khlaaiH cheernM chuaanM phiuR naaF nuaanM ngaamM graL jaangL glaangM saaengR faiM
So, I could only articulate one phrase: her beauty and shy smile were like an invitation; her countenance was lovely and fair in the [spot]light.
วางตาแล้วไม่อยากถอนสายตา
waangM dtaaM laaeoH maiF yaakL thaawnR saaiR dtaaM
Once I cast my gaze on her, I did not want to tear my eyes [away].
แต่ทั้งหมดนั้นไม่สำคัญเท่าน้ำเสียงของเธอ
dtaaeL thangH mohtL nanH maiF samR khanM thaoF namH siiangR khaawngR thuuhrM
Despite all that, [her beauty] was not as impressive as her voice.
