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.

但一些理想民族主义者“报复”来回击英国1759年占领这一梦想，却似乎有如此深远影响。

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，在金合欢树荫道上走了几个来回。从那里可看见田野、湖水和远山。
