2 as if butter wouldn't melt in one's mouth
ирон.с невинным, безобидным видом (обыкн. употр. с гл. to look)When a visitor comes in she smiles and languishes, you'd think that butter would not melt in her mouth... (W. Thackeray, ‘Pendennis’, vol. II, ch. XXII) — Когда появляется гость, она вся тает в улыбках; у нее такой умильный вид, словно она и воды не замутит...
‘If she was my daughter I'd turn her up and tan her bottom for her,’ said Jessie indignantly. ‘All that filthy language she uses. And she looks as if butter wouldn't melt in her mouth’ (D. Hewett, ‘Bobbin Up’, ch. 8) — - Будь она моей дочерью, уж я бы ей задрала юбчонку и отшлепала как следует, - возмутилась Джесси. - Ты только послушай, как она выражается. А с виду такая тихоня.

3 to look as if butter wouldn't melt in one's mouth
притворяться тихоней, иметь невинный, безобидный видWhen a visitor comes in, she smiles and languishes, you'd think that butter wouldn't melt in her mouth: and the minute he is gone, very likely, she flares up like a little demon, and says things fit to send you wild. (W. M. Thackeray, The History of Pendennis) — Для гостей у нее и улыбочки, и вздохи - скромница да и только. А чуть гость за порог - ну как с цепи сорвется, и такие слова говорит, что не приведи господи. (перевод М. Лорие)
