Opposite the Varnum gate, where the road fell away toward the Corbury valley, the church reared its slim white steeple and narrow peristyle.

在 Varnum 门对面，道路向 Corbury 山谷倾斜，教堂竖立着细长的白色尖顶和狭窄的柱廊。

He found himself at first in a thoroughly European quarter, the houses having low fronts, and being adorned with verandas, beneath which he caught glimpses of neat peristyles.

路路通首先走进了一个完全欧洲化的区域。这些房子都是低矮的门脸，前面紧靠大街是一排漂亮柱子支撑着的回廊。

He found a paved courtyard, which he crossed briskly, and mounted the steps of a pillared peristyle, on which the windows looked out. These were all closed to the very top, with full shutters.

他找到了一个铺砌的庭院，他轻快地穿过它，登上了一个有柱子的柱廊的台阶，从那里的窗户可以看到外面。这些都关闭到最顶层，有完整的百叶窗。
