The revanche du berceau (“revenge of the cradle”) dreamed of by some romantic nationalists as retaliation for the British conquest of 1759 didn't seem so far-fetched.

但一些理想的民族主义者以“摇篮的报复”来回击英国1759年的占领这一梦想，却似乎没有如此深远的影响。

After laying down my pen, I took several turns in a berceau, or covered walk of acacias, which commands a prospect of the country, the lake, and the mountains.

我放下了笔，在金合欢树荫盖的步道上走了几个来回。从那里可以看见田野、湖水和远山。
