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,对我朋友专横霸道仍然怀恨在心时,我看到劳伦斯在槌球草坪上,用把更古老木槌漫无目地敲着几个非常古老球。
