支吾

• Only a dank ride in a motor - car up a dark , damp drive , burrowing through gloomy trees , out to the slope of the park where grey damp sheep were feeding , to the knoll where the house spread its dark brown facade , and the housekeeper and her husband were hovering , like unsure tenants on the face of the earth , ready to stammer a welcome
  只是当他的汽车在阴森的林中的潮湿空气里开过，经过那有些灰色绵羊在那里吃着草的园圃斜坡，来到那高丘上黑褐色的屋门前时，一个女管家和她的丈夫在那里等着，预备支吾几句欢迎的话。
