After laying down my pen, I took several turns in a berceau, or covered walk of acacias, which commands a prospect of the country, the lake, and the mountains.

我放下了笔，在金合欢树荫盖步道上走了几个来回。从那看见田野、湖水远山。

The revanche du berceau (“revenge of the cradle”) dreamed of by some romantic nationalists as retaliation for the British conquest of 1759 didn't seem so far-fetched.

但一些理族主义者“摇篮报复”来回击英国1759年占领这一梦，却似乎没有如此深远影响。
