Wuthering Heights 

 呼啸山庄

      Before passing the threshold， I paused to
admire a quantity of grotesque carving lavished over the front， and
especially about the principal door； above which， among a
wilderness of crumbling griffins and shameless little boys， I detected
the date '1500，' and the name 'Hareton Earnshaw.' I would have made a few comments， and requested
a short history of the place from the surly owner； but his attitude at
the door appeared to demand my speedy entrance， or complete
departure， and I had no desire to aggravate his impatience previous to
inspecting the penetralium.

在跨进门槛前，一组图案离奇的雕刻，让我驻足观赏，雕刻布满了整个正面，正门上的那个尤为特别。在正门上，在一群狮身鹰首的怪兽和不知害羞的男孩子中，我发现了日期“1500”，还有一个名字“海尔顿？艾尔肖”。我本应该作出一些评论，并询问一下这位乖戾的主人关于这个地方的简短历史，然而他在门口态度要求我要么赶快进屋，要么赶紧走人，而我也不愿意在看到密室之前惹恼他。

我要详细咨询
