Wuthering Heights 

 呼啸山庄

One step brought us into the family sitting-room， without any introductory lobby or passage： they call it here 'the house' pre- eminently. It includes kitchen and parlour， generally； but I believe at Wuthering Heights the kitchen is forced to retreat altogether into another quarter： at least I distinguished a chatter of tongues， and a clatter of culinary utensils， deep within； and I observed no signs of roasting， boiling， or baking， about the huge fireplace； nor any glitter of copper saucepans and tin cullenders on the walls. One end， indeed， reflected splendidly both light and heat from ranks of immense pewter dishes， interspersed with silver jugs and tankards， towering row after row， on a vast oak dresser， to the very roof.

一步就跨进到了起居室，没有会客室或是走道，这就是他们所谓的典型的“屋子”，通常包括厨房和起居室。但是我认为，在呼啸山庄，厨房已经被被挤到另一个角落里去了。至少在尽里头，我听见了火苗劈劈啪啪的声音，还有厨房用具的碰撞声；然而在那个巨大的壁炉上，我并没有发现任何烤、煮或烘焙的迹象；也没有在墙上发现闪亮的铜制炖锅和锡制滤勺。另一头，巨大的橡木橱柜里陈列着极好的锡J餐具，一摞一摞的都到橱顶了，折射出了非常壮观的光和热量，其间点缀着银制的水壶和酒杯。

我要详细咨询
