Sauval

基本解释

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.)
司法宫大厅在当时被誉为举世无双的大厅(诚然，索瓦尔那时还没有丈量过孟塔吉城堡的大厅)，这一天要挤进去却不是容易的事。
"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."
用索瓦尔的说法，叫“城岛”，在他杂乱的著作中有时也有一些文笔优美的词句：城岛宛如一艘大船顺流驶向塞纳河中央，结果陷入泥沙而搁浅了。
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."
他还会想起，由于陆军统帅的叛变，小波旁官邸也是全部涂上了黄色，索瓦尔说：“黄色毕竟质地很优良，又是那样受推崇，涂上了，上百年都不可能褪色。”
