As I came out into the passage leading to the zenana I found my sister-in-law, standing near a window overlooking the reception rooms, peeping through the venetian shutter.

当走 zenana 道时，发现嫂子站在一扇俯瞰接待室窗户附近，透过百叶窗向外窥视。

I never liked the way my husband had of talking on this subject, but that is not the reason why I refused to leave the zenana. His grandmother was still alive.

喜欢丈夫谈论这个话题方式，但这是拒绝离开 zenana 原因。他祖母还活着。

Ever since my arrival, Nikhil's sitting-room had become a thing amphibious—half women's apartment, half men's: Bimala had access to it from the zenana, it was not barred to me from the outer side.

自达后，尼基尔起居室就变成了两栖东西——一半是女人公寓，一半是男人：比马拉可以 zenana 进入它，外面对来说是没有障碍。
