One evening Rudolf was strolling along a crosstown street in the older central part of the city.

一天晚上，鲁道夫沿着市中心老城区的一条跨城街道漫步。

Heading toward the crosstown bus, I passed a liquor store, and without thinking about it, I went in and bought a fifth of gin.

在走向穿越市区的公交车时，我经过一家酒铺，我想都没想，就进去买了瓶杜松子酒。

At the first large crosstown artery of travel he took an eastbound car that deposited him in a decaying avenue, whose ancient structures once sheltered the pride and glory of the town.

在第一条横贯城市的大动脉上， 他乘坐了一辆向东行驶的汽车， 将他停在一条破旧的大街上，这条古老的建筑曾经庇护着这座城镇的骄傲和荣耀。
