3个回答

  • Among other public buildings in a certain town,which for many reasons it will be prudent to refrain from mentioning,and to which I will assign no fictitious name,there is one anciently common to most towns,great or small:[to wit,a workhouse]

    在某一个小城,由于诸多原因,对该城的大名还是不提为好,我连假名也不给它取一个.此地和无数大大小小的城镇一样,在那里的公共建筑物之中也有一个古已有之的机构,[这就是济贫院].

    你需要的翻译我用 [** ]标注出来了

    一定采纳哦!
