" Is Briony Lodge, Serpentine Avenue, St. John's Wood."

“圣约翰伍德，塞彭泰恩大街，布里翁尼府第。”

It was a smart little landau which rattled up to the door of Briony Lodge.

那漂亮的四轮小马车咯哒咯哒驶到布里翁尼府第门前。

The door of Briony Lodge was open, and an elderly woman stood upon the steps.

布里翁尼府第的大门敞开着。个上年纪的妇人站在台阶上。

We descended and started off once more for Briony Lodge.

我们走下台阶，次动身到布里翁尼府第去。

There, where I had hoped to see a fine, impressive house, was nothing but a blackened heap of stones, with the silence of death about it.

我原本希望看到座府第巍然矗立的方，此时却只剩下几堆焦黑的石头，周围死般的寂静。

Slowly and solemnly he was borne into Briony Lodge and laid out in the principal room, while I still observed the proceedings from my post by the window.

大家缓慢而把他抬进布里翁尼府第，安置在正房里。这时我由站在靠近窗口的方直在看着整个事情的经过。

It was already dusk, and the lamps were just being lighted as we paced up and down in front of Briony Lodge, waiting for the coming of its occupant.

时已黄昏，我们在布里翁尼府第外面踱来踱去等屋主回来时，正好亮灯了。

Even when within a very short distance of the manor-house, you could see nothing of it, so thick and dark grew the timber of the gloomy wood about it.

即使离园府第非常近了，你还什么也看不见，阴森森的树林把那阴沉沉的木头重重包围。

At the top of a hill they had their first view of Pemberley House, situated on the other side of a valley, with a line of high, wooded hills behind.

从这儿，他们第次看到了彭伯里府第，它坐落于山谷另侧，后面片林木覆盖的山陵。

It did not appear to him that Sir Walter could materially alter his style of living in a house which had such a character of hospitality and ancient dignity to support.

我觉得在这幢需要保持传统体面的好客的府第中，沃尔特爵士难以大刀阔斧改变生活方式。
