Tom partly uncovered a dismal caricature of a house with two gable ends to it and a corkscrew of smoke issuing from the chimney.

汤姆部分地发现了一幅令人沮丧的漫画， 房子有两个山墙， 烟囱里冒出一股螺旋状的烟雾。

It was a longish building with its gable ends turned away from the road, and long traceried windows coming rather low down set in the wall that faced us.

这是一栋稍长的建筑，山墙的两端背对着马路，长长的有花纹的窗户位于相当低的位置，镶嵌在面对我们的墙上。

When Toby ceased to invite him to the house at Salcott, Ratoff had bought the old stable next the village shop; a mere lean-to against the shop's gable end; and made it into a dwelling for himself.

当托比不再邀请他去萨尔科特的房子时，拉托夫买下了村里商店旁边的旧马厩。靠着商店的山墙端的一个小棚子；并为自己建造了一个住处。

The case of the homestead was serious. Hannah's account had not been exaggerated in substance: the gable end of the house was open to the garden; the joists, left without support, had dropped, and with them the upper floor.

宅基地的情况很严重。汉娜的描述在实质上并没有被夸大：房子的山墙端通向花园；没有支撑的托梁掉了下来，楼上也跟着掉了下来。
