My father very kindly invited me to turn the spit as in former days.

父亲很客气地邀请我像往日一样转动烤肉叉。

He has transferred most of the purchasers of poultry and pies to the daughter of Madame Quonion, who turns the spit at the other end of the Rue Saint Jacques.

他把大部分购买家禽和馅饼的人都转给了库尼翁夫人的女儿，她在圣雅克街的另一端转动烤肉架。

The barbecue pits, which had been slowly burning since last night, would now be long troughs of rose-red embers, with the meats turning on spits above them and the juices trickling down and hissing into the coals.

那些从头天晚上便在缓缓燃着的烤全牲的火坑，估计现在已成为玫瑰红灰烬的长槽，兽肉在上面的叉子上转动着，肉汁缓缓地滴落在炭火中，发出咝咝的声音。

But I can talk freely to you, who are neither debauched-for I quite overlook the error you nearly gave way to in the arms of yonder girl-nor ambitious, having lived, till recently, contented to turn the paternal spit.

但我可以和你畅所欲言， 你既不放荡——因为我完全忽略了你在那个女孩的怀抱中差点屈服的错误——也没有野心， 直到最近，还满足于转动父亲的唾液。
