Its crockery and atmosphere were thick; its soup and napery thin.

里面的陶器和气氛都很浓厚。它的汤和餐巾很薄。

To enter from the chill darkness outside, and find one's self confronted by a totally unanticipated festal board, draped with red, adorned with white napery, and wreathed with flowers, was to feel that the preparations were brilliant indeed.

从外面寒冷的黑暗中走进去，发现自己面对的是一个完全出乎意料的节日板，上面披着红色，上面装饰着白色的餐巾，上面环绕着鲜花，让人觉得准备工作确实很棒。
