The balls were hedgehogs and the croquet mallets were flamingos.
球是刺猬,槌球棒是火烈鸟。
But now, as I strolled out on the lawn, still nursing a grudge against my friend's high-handedness, I saw Lawrence on the croquet lawn, aimlessly knocking a couple of very ancient balls about, with a still more ancient mallet.
但是现在,当我漫步在草坪上,对我朋友的专横霸道仍然怀恨在心时,我看到劳伦斯在槌球草坪上,用一把更古老的木槌漫无目的地敲着个非常古老的球。
