Sauval

基本解釋

It was no easy matter that day to penetrate into the great Hall,then reputed the largest roofed-in space in the world. (It is true that,at that time,Sauval had not yet measured the great hall of the Castle of Montargis.)
司法宮大廳在當(dāng)時(shí)被譽(yù)為舉世無雙的大廳(誠(chéng)然，索瓦爾那時(shí)還沒有丈量過孟塔吉城堡的大廳)，這一天要擠進(jìn)去卻不是容易的事。
"The island of the City," as Sauval says,who,in spite of his confused medley,sometimes has such happy turns of expression,--"the island of the city is made like a great ship,stuck in the mud and run aground in the current,near the centre of the Seine."
用索瓦爾的說法，叫“城島”，在他雜亂的著作中有時(shí)也有一些文筆優(yōu)美的詞句：城島宛如一艘大船順流駛向塞納河中央，結(jié)果陷入泥沙而擱淺了。
he would recall the Hotel du Petit-Bourbon, all smeared thus, on account of the constable's treason. "Yellow,after all, of so good a quality," said Sauval, "and so well recommended, that more than a century has not yet caused it to lose its color."
他還會(huì)想起，由于陸軍統(tǒng)帥的叛變，小波旁官邸也是全部涂上了黃色，索瓦爾說：“黃色畢竟質(zhì)地很優(yōu)良，又是那樣受推崇，涂上了，上百年都不可能褪色。”
