They're restoring them but they've run into problems with joists over partition walls.

他们都在装修房子，做隔墙的时候遇到了承重的问题。

As the partition wall was thin, they could hear the clatter of the forks on the plates in the dining-room.

板壁很薄，听得见餐厅里叉子碰盘子的响声。

Through the partition wall could be heard suppressed whispering in the landlord's room, then a yawn, and a sigh.

透过隔墙可以听到房东房间里压抑的窃窃私语，然后是哈欠和叹息。

At that moment there was an outburst of curses behind the partition wall, followed by a jostling and banging against walls, a clatter of chains, screaming and shouting.

就在这时，隔墙后面传来一阵咒骂声， 紧接着是撞墙声、锁链碰撞声、尖叫声和叫喊声。

" ...full of innate sympathy...quickness to perceive good in others...vision of the brotherhood of man..." Scraps of the lecture on St. Francis came floating round the partition wall.

“… … 充满与生俱来的同情心… … 敏锐地发现他人的优点… … 人类兄弟情谊的愿景… … ”关于圣弗朗西斯的演讲的片段飘荡在隔墙周围。

The fact that I live in the kitchen merely means that I live behind the partition wall in that apartment-that I live quite alone, and spend my time in a quiet fashion compounded of trifles.

我住在厨房里的事实仅仅意味着我住在那间公寓的隔墙后面——我一个人住得很孤独，以一种安静的方式度过我的时间， 这些琐事混杂在一起。
