[请益] 汤姆历险记的一段话

为了怕看不懂 所以把上文也贴近来
The old lady pulled her spectacles down and looked over them about the room;
then she put them up and looked out under them.
She seldom or never looked through them for so small a thing as a boy;
they were her ""state pair"", the pride of her heart,
and were built for "style," not service—she could have seen through
a pair of stove-lids just as well.
请问state pair到底该怎么翻呢?
或者代表什么含意...
感谢

pair是指眼镜,"state pair"是以夸张幽默的说法形容这副眼镜是国事场合使用的眼镜
