It wriggled, in the middle, a small hole appeared. It grew wider and wider, a second later they were facing an archway large enough even for Hagrid, an archway onto a cobbled street which twisted and turned out of sight.

开始移动，中间的地方出现一个小洞，洞口越变越大，不多时他们面前就出现了一条足以让海格通过的宽阔的拱道，通向一条蜿蜒曲折、看不见尽头的鹅卵石砌的街道。

There was field upon field of ripening grain, with well-paved roads running between, and pretty rippling brooks with strong bridges across them.

They walked over a pavement of the same green marble, and where the blocks were joined together were rows of emeralds, set closely, and glittering in the brightness of the sun.

他们走在用同样绿大理石砌的人行道上，这是用一块一块的翡翠紧密地衔接起来造成的，一行一行的，被明亮的太阳照得灿烂闪烁。

In mathematics, this is a property known as aperiodicity and the notion of an aperiodic tile set using only two tiles was such a sensation, it was given the name Penrose tiling.

在数学中，该属性被称为“非周期性”，仅由两种瓷砖组成的非周期性瓷砖组合轰动一时，以至于被命名为“彭罗斯砌”。

It was paved and clean, but grass was growing in every crevice.

地面砌得整齐，但每条缝隙间都长出了青草。

And a lot of saved journeys up unpaved roads, I imagine.

而且我想还有许多次在未砌的路上艰难前行的经历被保存了下来。

The streets became narrow and unpaved and they were not empty any longer.

街道变得狭窄且未砌， 不再空无一人。

It fell smash upon the paved walk ten or a dozen feet beneath.

它砸在十英尺或十几英尺下的砌人行道上。

Granta House was on the other side of Stortfold Castle, close to the medieval walls, on the long unpavemented stretch that comprised only four houses and the National Trust shop, bang in the middle of the tourist area.

Granta House 位于 Stortfold Castle 城堡的另一侧， 靠近中世纪的城墙，位于只有四栋房屋和国民信托商店的长长的未砌的地段上， 位于旅游区的中间。

The first warm, spring rain had fallen the evening before. Wherever there was a patch of unpaved ground the green grass burst forth; the lindens were covered with green nap; the fowl-cherry and poplar unfolded their long, fragrant leaves.

前一天晚上，第一场温暖的春雨下了。只要有一块未砌的土地，就会长出青草；菩提树上覆盖着绿色的绒毛；野樱桃和杨树展开了长长的、芬芳的叶子。
