今天公众号“高斋翻硕”给大家分享张培基译《巷》节选的单词解析。
The lane, in terms of the art of urban architecture, is like a piece of prose of gentle gracefulness or a painting of classic elegance and simplicity. Oftentucked away in a small town south of the Yangtze river, the lane, like a maidenof ancient times hidden away in a secluded boudoir, is reluctant to make its appearance in public. You’ll never have an opportunity to see it and savour its gentle poise until you have become truly attached to the small town after living there for a long time.
