Ahead, and only a short distance away, lay the lamasery of Shangri-La.

Chang, of course, now talked to him completely without reserve, and they had many conversations about the rule and routine of the lamasery.

当然，张现在完全没有保留地和他说话，他们就嘛寺的规则和日常事务进行了多交谈。

Conway answered with suitable politeness and added that he had been surprised to find the lamasery in possession of such a complete library of European composers.

He never exactly remembered how he and the others arrived at the lamasery, or with what formalities they were received, unroped, and ushered into the precincts.

It was not a route for the squeamish, but when at last they reached the lower levels of forest and foothill the supreme good fortune of the lamasery was everywhere to be realized.

这条路不适合娇气的，但当他们最终到达森林和山麓的低层时，嘛寺的至高无上的好运随处可见。

In the last resort the personal servants of the lamasery had power to expel an offender from the valley-though this, which was considered an extreme and dreadful punishment, had only very occasionally to be imposed.

The notion of this strange culture pocket, hidden amongst unknown ranges, and ruled over by some vague kind of theocracy, interested him as a student of history, apart from the curious though perhaps related secrets of the lamasery.

For some days now he had been reaching, gradually and tentatively, a curious conclusion about the lamasery and its inhabitants; his brain was still busy with it, though in a deeper sense he was unperturbed.

He was particularly interested, as a student of affairs, in the way the valley population was governed; it appeared, on examination, to be a rather loose and elastic autocracy operated from the lamasery with a benevolence that was almost casual.

All this was for a reason I shall later discuss, but the point is of importance as showing that the lamasery was no longer hospitably indifferent; it had already both a need and a desire for new arrivals.
