Coniston — Volume 01 — Page 3
十几条小溪发源于康尼斯顿西部高处的云杉林中，在流经克洛维利镇的途中切割出深邃清凉的山谷，最终汇入宽阔的水声之中，河谷清新，水声悠扬，蕨类植物的气息弥漫其间。
A dozen little brooks are born high among the western spruces on Coniston to score deep, cool valleys in their way through Clovelly township to the broad music of the water and fresh river-valleys full of the music of the water and fresh with the odor of the ferns.
时至今日，铁路仍未延伸至康尼斯顿村——甚至连距布兰普顿更近四英里的康尼斯顿平地也未曾到达。
To this day the railroad has not reached Coniston Village--nay, nor Coniston Flat, four miles nearer Brampton.
这座村子坐落在山坡上自己那片小小的台地上，山坡覆盖着茂密的森林，村中十几座房屋之间有一片三角形的草坪，昔日民兵曾在六月的日子里在此操练。
The village lies on its own little shelf under the forest-clad slope of the mountain, and in the midst of its dozen houses is the green triangle where the militia used to drill on June days.
三角地的一端矗立着一根高大的松木桅杆，它从未装点过乔治王的任何一艘战舰，却在无数个自由纪念日上高高飘扬着星条旗。
At one end of the triangle is the great pine mast that graced no frigate of George's, but flew the stars and stripes on many a liberty day.
路对面是乔纳·温奇的杂货店，店前的台阶极高，人们骑马而来可直接从马背上踏上台阶；店里的窗户是方格玻璃窗，室内昏暗，弥漫着咖啡、苹果和糖蜜的气味，是的，还有恩迪亚朗姆酒的味道——因为那是在复兴运动兴起之前的年代。
Across the road is Jonah Winch's store, with a platform so high that a man may step off his horse directly on to it; with its checker-paned windows, with its dark interior smelling of coffee and apples and molasses, yes, and of Endea rum--for this was before the days of the revivals.
那些方格玻璃窗多么令人忆起村中草坪的景象啊！
How those checker-paned windows bring back the picture of that village green!
会堂的窗户也是这样的方格窗，宛如灯笼，宽大高挑，分三扇排列——白色的会堂，既是政府议事之所，也是宗教礼拜之地，有着层叠的尖塔，南北两侧各有古典风格的门廊。
The meeting-house has them, lantern-like, wide and high, in three sashes--white meeting-house, seat alike of government and religion, with its terraced steeple, with its classic porches north and south.
