A fire was burning under a pollard thorn a few paces off, over which three kettles hung in a row.

几步之外，一棵截去树梢的山楂树下面正烧着火，火上一排挂了三个水壶。

First he tried the pollard willow, but it was damp; and the otters had left a dead fish near it.

他先试了柳树， 但很潮； 水獭在它附近留下了一条死鱼。

I pointed to where our village lay, on the flat in-shore among the alder-trees and pollards, a mile or more from the church.

我指着我们村子所在的位置，在桤木树和桤木之间平坦的岸边，离教堂一英里或更远。

The pause was filled up by the intonation of a pollard thorn a little way to windward, the breezes filtering through its unyielding twigs as through a strainer.

在他停顿之际，不远处一棵削去树梢的棘树，迎着风发出呜呜声响。微风在坚挺的树枝中穿过，像是通过筛子一样。

To him the houses, the willows, the obscure fields beyond, were apparently regarded not as brick residences, pollards, meadows; but as human dwellings in the abstract, vegetation, and the wide dark world.

对他来说，房子、柳树、远处不知名的田野，显然不被认为是砖房、庭院、草地；而是作为人类居住在抽象、植被和广阔的黑暗世界中。

Arabella smiled grimly as she resumed her way, and practised dimple-making all along the road from where the pollard willows begin to the old almshouses in the first street of the town.

阿拉贝拉继续她的路时冷酷地笑了笑，并在从柳树开始到镇上第一条街道的老救济院的路上一直在练习制作酒窝。

He was often mistaken for a ghost by children; and for a pollard willow by men, when, on their way home in the dusk, they saw him motionless by some rushy bank, unobservant of the decline of day.

他经常被孩子们误认为是鬼魂；而对于一棵男人的柳树，当他们在黄昏回家的路上，他们看到他在一些湍急的河岸上一动不动，没有注意到白天的衰落。
