They positioned windows to draw on prevailing breezes and dotted clever features like transom windows above interior doors, which could be cranked open to let stuffy air escape while the door stayed shut for privacy.

他们顺应盛行风向规划开窗位置，还在内门上方增设气窗这类精巧设计，房门关闭保性的同时，可旋开气窗排出闷浊热气。

Here, then, I'll seat me, against the transom, in the ship's full middle, all her keel and her three masts before me.

那我就坐在这里好了，靠着横梁，在船的正中央，它的个龙骨和三根桅杆都在我前面。

When something comes across my transom that seems interesting.

当有东西出现在我的视野中并且看起来很有趣时。

Handsome voice finally comes over the transom and is like, are you for real?

帅气的声终于传了过来，像是在说，你是认真的吗？

They would peep in through the cracks, whispering, they threw live animals in through the transom, and on one occasion they nailed up the door and the window and it took Aureliano half a day to force them open.

他们会从缝隙里窥视，窃窃语，他们把活的动物从横梁里扔进去， 有次他们钉上了门窗， 奥雷里亚诺花了半天时间才把它们打开。

I don't know if I have, I used to have a whole list of other resources besides transom to direct people to.

我不知道我还有没有，我以前有其他资源的列表，除了transom之外，可以推荐给人们。

And then they pushed a chest of drawers up against the door and clambered up and were peering through the transom.

随后，他们将个衣柜推到门前，爬上去，透过气窗窥视。

You'll see it flying over the transom momentarily.

很快就把结果飞速传你。

I am not allowed to cross the transom.

我连房门都不能进。

This is business that came in over the transom.

亨氏的单子是意外争取来的。

" If the transom is too small to admit a man, it must have been a child" .

“如果气窗太小，不能容纳个男人，那定是个孩子”。

But when something gets on through my transom and I'm like, that's what blew their gasket?

但凡有消息透过我的信箱传来，我都会想，就这也能让他们气炸了？

" Now, through a hole in the window, a person could, by the aid of some instrument, let us say a poker with a hook at the end, grip the ring, pull down, and open the transom" .

“现在，个人可以通过窗户上的个洞，借助某种工具，比如说末端有钩子的拨火棍，抓住环，向下拉，然后打开气窗”。

" I will admit that it was; but is there not a transom in the upper part of the window" ?

“我承认它是；但是窗户的上部没有气窗”？

" In the first place, that was customary in houses of that date; and, in the second place, without such a transom, the theft cannot be explained" .

“首先，那是当时房屋的惯例；其次，没有这样的横梁，就无法解释盗窃案”。

" Well, then, if he could not open the window by reaching through the transom, he must have crawled through the transom" .

“那么，如果他无法通过气窗伸手打开窗户，他定是爬过气窗的。”
