The house was encrusted with heavy thatchings, which dropped between the upper windows; the front, upon which the moonbeams directly played, had originally been white; but a huge pyracanth now darkened the greater portion.

屋顶上铺了厚厚的茅草，垂挂在高处两扇窗户中间；月光直射在房子正面墙上，那墙本来是白色的，但有很一部分让一果常青棘给遮暗了。

Like he's up on a roof thatching.

就像他在屋顶上铺茅草一样。

With all these reasons to start thatching roofs again, --- wouldn't it be wonderful to see this disappearing craft return to popularity?

有了所有这再次开始使用茅草屋顶的理由，---看到这种消失的工艺重新流行起来不是很好吗？

He went on thatching in a kind of dream. She had spoken more warmly to him tonight than she had ever done when she was unmarried and free to speak as warmly as she liked.

她消失在黑暗中。盖伯瑞尔像在梦幻中一样继续盖稻草。比起她未婚时和自由自在地热情交谈时，今晚她的态度可热情多了。

Well, in a nutshell, thatching involves covering the beams or rafters --- the wooden skeleton of a roof with reeds or straw.

好吧，简而言之，茅草盖包括覆盖横梁或椽子——用芦苇或稻草覆盖屋顶的木制骨架。

The only way to cover the other six ricks was by thatching them with straw，and this was a long and difficult job to do alone.

盖伯瑞尔离开谷仓，回到麦垛边，用农场上的遮盖布把其中两垛盖上。若想把其他六垛也盖起来，唯一的办法便是用稻草盖，可一个人单独干，既费时又费力。
