同等學力英語輔導 每日一練（5月12日）

    早上,得知須等些時日馬車才能修好,他們便搭乘當地車輛去了山頂小城.有人告訴他們在那可以找到更好的住處.他們在那逗留了兩三天.那是一座意大利風格的小城,教堂高高聳立,有一氣派浮華的廣場,幾條狹窄的小街,還有幾座小巧的宮殿.所有這些,緊湊而完美地排列在山頂之上. 四周筑有城墻,城墻之內方園不比英國人的菜園大多少.但是,它喧嘩熱鬧,生氣勃勃,晝夜回響著腳步聲與話語聲.

參考答案：

    That morning, finding they would have to wait while their carriage was being repaired, they had driven in a local conveyance up to the city on the mountain, where they had been told they would find better quarters; and there they had stayed two or three days. It was one of the miniature Italian cities with a high church, a pretentious piazza, a few narrow streets and little palaces, perched, all compact and complete, on the top of a mountain, within an enclosure of walls hardly larger than an English kitchen garden. But it was full of life and noise, echoing all day and all night with the sounds of feet and voices.
