In the royal apartments, these ceilings come with the giddy extravagance of rococo.

在皇家公寓，这些天花板带有式令眼花缭乱奢华。

I liked the way the light shone on the roofs and the river, and its old narrow streets, and its villas and gardens and avenues of chestnut trees and the rococo buildings of the university.

我喜欢光线照在屋顶和河流上方式，喜欢它古老狭窄街道，喜欢它别墅、花园、栗树林荫道和大学式建筑。

One found one's self in a singular frame of mind — more eighteenth-century than ever — almost rococo — and unable to catch anywhere the cog-wheels of evolution. Experience ceased to educate. London taught less freely than of old.

发现自己处于一种单一心态——比以往任何时候都更像十八世纪——几乎是式——并且无法在任何地方抓住进化齿轮。经验不再教育。伦敦教学不如从前自由。
