可是，碰巧在一個(gè)陰沉的冬天晚上，在暴風(fēng)雪漫天飛卷期間，

which was banging the shutters and doors of the house so as to keep up a continual uproar,

當(dāng)時(shí)百葉窗和門被風(fēng)雪刮得啪啪作響。

that Ned, having waited in the parlor for the philosophers until midnight,

When he entered the library, both candles were burning in their sockets, with long, untrimmed wicks;

當(dāng)他闖進(jìn)圖書館時(shí)，只見他們旁邊的燭臺(tái)插著的兩根蠟燭已經(jīng)燃了很久了，蠟花沒有修剪;

the fire was reduced to its last embers, and, in an armchair on one side of the table,

火苗已經(jīng)奄奄一息，在書桌一側(cè)的扶手椅上，

the parson was discovered in a sound sleep over Jeremy Taylor's "Ductor Dubitantium,"

教區(qū)長頭埋在杰里米·泰勒的那本《半信半疑的醫(yī)生》上呼呼大睡，

whilst Frank, in another chair on the opposite side, was snoring over a folio edition of Montaigne.

而弗蘭克坐在對(duì)面的另一把椅子上，正沖著一本對(duì)開的蒙田選集打呼嚕呢。

And upon the table stood a small stone pitcher, containing a residuum of whisky punch, now grown cold.

在桌上擺著一個(gè)很小的石頭制成的水罐，里面盛著的威士忌已經(jīng)冰涼了。

Frank started up in great consternation upon hearing Ned's footstep beside him, and, from that time, almost entirely deserted the library.

弗蘭克開始聚精會(huì)神地諦聽身旁奈德腳步聲，從那一時(shí)刻起，幾乎完全忘記了自己是在圖書館里。

Mr. Chub, however, was not so easily drawn away from the career of his humor, and still shows his hankering after his leather-coated friends.

然而，查伯先生并不會(huì)如此輕易地從他一貫的幽默擺脫出來，渴望馬上找到他坐在皮椅子上的朋友。
