The typewriter beyond the party wall was still.

派对墙外的打字机静止不动。

The obligation of building party walls, in order to prevent the communication of fire, is a violation of natural liberty, exactly of the same kind with the regulations of the banking trade which are here proposed.

为防止火势蔓延而建造党墙的义务是对自然自由的侵犯，与这里提出的银行业法规完全属于同一类。

A wedge of sunlight slipped over the edge of the desk and fell noiselessly to the carpet. Traffic lights bong-bonged outside on the boulevard, interurban cars pounded by, a typewriter clacked monotonously in the lawyer's office beyond the party wall.

一道楔形的阳光从桌边滑过，无声地落在地毯上。外面林荫大道上的红绿灯砰砰作响，城际间的汽车轰轰烈烈地驶过，派对墙外的律师办公室里打字机发出单调的咔嗒声。
