The old man now passed through the broad hall through an inner hall , wherein against the walls stood huge oaken chests bearing porcelain vases ; then through the door opposite he entered a small lobby , from which a narrow staircase led to the upper rooms at the back of the house 于是老年人走過了那寬廣的門廳,又穿過一個(gè)寬廣的?廊,沿著墻壁立著幾具擺置有許多瓷瓶的巨大的橡木柜子;再從對(duì)面的那道門穿過,走進(jìn)一個(gè)小的廳堂,從那里有一道狹隘樓梯通到這所房子后面的樓上的房間。
The furniture of the hall consisted of some ponderous chairs , the backs of which were elaborately carved with wreaths of oaken flowers ; and likewise a table in the same taste ; the whole being of the elizabethan age , or perhaps earlier , and heirlooms , transferred hither from the governor s paternal home 大廳中的家具,包括幾把笨重的椅子,椅背上精雕著團(tuán)團(tuán)簇簇的橡樹花,還有一張與椅子配套的桌子,以及一整套伊麗莎白時(shí)代的全部設(shè)備,說不定還是從更早的年代祖?zhèn)飨聛淼模煽偠綇墓释吝\(yùn)到了這里。
The old men on the rising straw - rick talked of the past days when they had been accustomed to thresh with flails on the oaken barn - floor ; when everything , even to winnowing , was effected by hand - labour , which , to their thinking , though slow , produced better results 在堆高的麥稈垛上,上了年紀(jì)的工人們談起了他們過去的歲月,那時(shí)候他們一直是用連枷在倉庫的地板上打麥子那時(shí)候所有的事情,甚至揚(yáng)麥糠,靠的也都是人力,按照他們的想法,那樣雖然慢點(diǎn),但是打出的麥子要好得多。
Certain it is that , some fifteen or twenty years after the settlement of the town , the wooden jail was already marked with weather - stains and other indications of age , which gave a yet darker aspect to its beetle - browed and gloomy front . the rust on the ponderous iron - work of its oaken door looked more antique than any thing else in the new world 可以確定無疑地說,早在鎮(zhèn)子建立十五年或二十年之際,那座木造監(jiān)獄就已經(jīng)因風(fēng)吹日曬雨淋和歲月的流逝而為它那猙獰和陰森的門面增加了幾分晦暗凄楚的景象,使它那橡木大門上沉重的鐵活的斑斑銹痕顯得比新大陸的任何陳跡都益發(fā)古老。
Only one hour in the twenty - four did she pass with her fellow - servants below ; all the rest of her time was spent in some low - ceiled , oaken chamber of the second storey : there she sat and sewed - and probably laughed drearily to herself , - as companionless as a prisoner in his dungeon 一天二十四小時(shí)中,她只有一小時(shí)同樓下別的傭人呆在一起,其余時(shí)間是在三層樓上某個(gè)橡木臥室低矮的天花板下度過的。她坐在那里做著針線活也許還兀自凄楚地大笑起來像監(jiān)獄里的犯人一樣無人作伴。
consisting of or made of wood of the oak tree; "a solid oak table"; "the old oaken bucket"
