Mr. B. did not inherit this old hall, nor, indeed, is he the owner, but only the tenant of it. He is a merchant of Liverpool, a bachelor, with two sisters residing with him. In the entrance-hall, there was a stuffed fox with glass eyes, which I never should have doubted to be an actual live fox except for his keeping so quiet; also some grouse and other game. Mr. B. seems to be a sportsman, and is setting out this week on an excursion to Scotland, moor-fowl shooting.

B先生没有继承这座古老的大厅,实际上,他也不是它的主人,而是它的房客。他是利物浦的商人,单身汉,有两个姐姐和他住在一起。在门厅里,有一只装着玻璃眼睛的狐狸,我不应该怀疑它是一只活生生的狐狸,除非它保持着如此安静;还有一些松鸡和其他的猎物。B先生似乎是一名运动员,本周出发去苏格兰郊游,拍摄摩尔家禽。
While the family and two or three guests went to dinner, we walked out to see the place. The gardener, an Irishman, showed us through the garden, which is large and well cared for. They certainly get everything from Nature which she can possibly be persuaded to give them, here in England. There were peaches and pears growing against the high brick southern walls,—the trunk and branches of the trees being spread out perfectly flat against the wall, very much like the skin of a dead animal nailed up to dry, and not a single branch protruding. Figs were growing in the same way. The brick wall, very probably, was heated within, by means of pipes, in order to re-enforce the insufficient heat of the sun. It seems as if there must be something unreal and unsatisfactory in fruit that owes its existence to such artificial methods. Squashes were growing under glass, poor things! There were immensely large gooseberries in the garden; and in this particular berry, the English, I believe, have decidedly the advantage over ourselves. The raspberries, too, were large and good. I espied one gigantic hog-weed in the garden; and, really, my heart warmed to it, being strongly reminded of the principal product of my own garden at Concord. After viewing the garden sufficiently, the gardener led us to other parts of the estate, and we had glimpses of a delightful valley, its sides shady with beautiful trees, and a rich, grassy meadow at the bottom. By means of a steam-engine and subterranean pipes and hydrants, the liquid manure from the barn-yard is distributed wherever it is wanted over the estate, being spouted in rich showers from the hydrants. Under this influence, the meadow at the bottom of the valley had already been made to produce three crops of grass during the present season, and would produce another.
当家人和两三个客人去吃饭的时候,我们出去看看那个地方。园丁是一个爱尔兰人,他带我们参观了花园,花园很大,受到了很好的照顾。在英国,他们从大自然中得到了一切可能被说服给予他们的东西。有桃子和梨子生长在高高的砖墙的南面,树干和树枝完全平放在墙上,非常像一只被钉在墙上晾干的死动物的皮肤,没有一根树枝伸出。无花果也是这样生长的。砖墙很可能是通过管道在内部加热的,以重新加强太阳的热量不足。似乎水果中一定存在着某种不真实和不令人满意的东西,这归功于这种人工方法。玻璃下长着南瓜,可怜的东西!花园里有非常大的醋栗;我相信,在这种特别的浆果中,英国人无疑比我们自己有优势。覆盆子也大而好。我看见花园里有一棵巨大的猪草,真的,我的心被它温暖了起来,强烈地想起了我在康科德花园的主要产品。看完花园后,园丁把我们领到了庄园的其他地方,我们瞥见了一个令人愉快的山谷,四周绿树成荫,底部有一片肥沃的草地。通过蒸汽机、地下管道和消防栓,谷仓场的液态肥料分布在所有需要的地方,从消防栓中以丰富的淋浴器喷出。在这种影响下,谷底的草地在目前的季节已经种植了三种牧草,并将生产另一种。

The lawn around Poulton Hall, like thousands of other lawns in England, is very beautiful, but requires great care to keep it so, being shorn every three or four days. No other country will ever have this charm, nor the charm of lovely verdure, which almost makes up for the absence of sunshine. Without the constant rain and shadow which strikes us as so dismal, these lawns would be as brown as an autumn leaf. I have not, thus far, found any such magnificent trees as I expected. Mr. B. told me that three oaks, standing in a row on his lawn, were the largest in the county. They were very good trees, to be sure, and perhaps four feet in diameter near the ground, but with no very noble spread of foliage. In Concord there are, if not oaks, yet certainly elms, a great deal more stately and beautiful. But, on the whole, this lawn, and the old Hall in the midst of it, went a good way towards realizing some of my fancies of English life.
鲍尔顿大厅周围的草坪,和英国成千上万的其他草坪一样,非常漂亮,但每三到四天就要修剪一次,要保持这一点需要非常小心。没有哪个国家会有这样的魅力,也没有哪一个国家会有可爱的绿色的魅力,这几乎可以弥补阳光的缺乏。如果没有持续不断的阴雨和阴影,这些草坪就会像秋天的树叶一样变成褐色。到目前为止,我还没有发现像我所期望的那样壮丽的树木。B先生告诉我,三棵橡树排成一行站在他的草坪上,是全县最大的橡树。当然,它们是很好的树,直径大约四英尺,靠近地面,但没有非常高贵的树叶蔓延。在康科德,即使不是橡树,也一定是榆树,有许多更庄严和美丽。但是,总的来说,这片草地和中间的那座旧大厅,是一条很好的道路,让我认识到我对英国生活的一些幻想。

By and by a footman, looking very quaint and queer in his livery coat, drab breeches, and white stockings, came to invite me to the table, where I found Mr. B. and his sisters and guests sitting at the fruit and wine. There were port, sherry, madeira, and one bottle of claret, all very good; but they take here much heavier wines than we drink now in America. After a tolerably long session we went to the tea-room, where I drank some coffee, and at about the edge of dusk the carriage drew up to the door to take us home. Mr. B. and his sisters have shown us genuine kindness, and they gave us a hearty invitation to come and ramble over the house whenever we pleased, during their absence in Scotland. They say that there are many legends and ghost-stories connected with the house; and there is an attic chamber, with a skylight, which is called the Martyr's chamber, from the fact of its having, in old times, been tenanted by a lady, who was imprisoned there, and persecuted to death for her religion. There is an old black-letter library, but the room containing it is shut, barred, and padlocked,—the owner of the house refusing to let it be opened, lest some of the books should be stolen. Meanwhile the rats are devouring them, and the damps destroying them.
一个穿着制服、马裤和白丝袜的男仆不时地来邀请我去吃饭,我看见B先生和他的姐妹和客人坐在水果和酒旁。这里有波特酒、雪利酒、马德拉酒和一瓶红葡萄酒,都很好喝;但是他们这里的葡萄酒比我们现在在美国喝的要重得多。经过一段相当长的时间,我们去了茶室,在那里我喝了些咖啡,在黄昏的边缘,马车走到门口,把我们带回家。B先生和他的姐妹们向我们表示了真诚的好意,在他们不在苏格兰期间,他们诚恳地邀请我们随时来我家闲逛。他们说有许多传说和鬼故事与这所房子有关;还有一个阁楼,有一个天窗,被称为烈士室,因为它在过去曾被一个被囚禁在那里的女士囚禁,并因为她的宗教而被迫害至死。有一个旧的黑信图书馆,但是里面的房间是关着的、用栅栏锁着的,房子的主人拒绝让它打开,以免一些书被偷。与此同时,老鼠正在吞食它们,而湿气正在摧毁它们。
