The cooks seized the knife, the spoon or the broom; Kirusha, who had been joking with Matrona, hurried to the door, while Matrona hurried to the byre.

厨师们抓住了刀、勺子或扫帚；一直在和马特罗娜开玩笑的基鲁沙快步跑到门口，而马特罗纳则急匆匆地跑到牛棚边。

In the evening, when I went from the byre to the house, the sky had grown overcast, and it seemed to me that it had got warmer.

, 我从牛棚走到家里时, 天变得阴沉沉的, 在我看, 天似乎暖和起了。

It took only a day to dry, and I shifted it to a little space under the roof of the byre.

它只花了一天时就干了, 我把它移到了牛棚屋顶下的一小块。

Anything that didn't fit there, I stored in a corner of the byre.

何不适合那里的东西, 我都存放在牛棚的角落里。

When I looked out of the window at midday, the trees were already dusted with white, and towards evening, when I went into the byre, the forest had turned into a real Christmas forest, and the snow crunched crisply under my feet.

正午时分， 我向窗外望去，树上已经铺满了白雪；时分， 我走进牛棚，森林已经变成了真正的圣诞森林，雪在我脚下发出嘎吱嘎吱的声音。

In the byre, Bella greeted me impatiently and let me lead her to her hungry son.

在牛圈里, 贝拉不耐烦地迎接我, 让我带她去见她饥饿的儿子。

I put on my shoes and went back to the byre.

我穿上鞋子, 回到牛棚。

I sealed the cracks in the doors and windows of the byre and the house with strips I'd cut from an old blanket.

我用从旧毯子上剪下的条子封住了牛棚和房子的门窗缝隙。

My greatest triumph would be to fix the door to Bella's new byre properly.

我最大的胜利就是把贝拉新牛舍的门修好。

The path to the byre turned into a shining sheet of ice.

通往牛棚的小路变成了一片闪闪发光的冰。
