IT ALL began with a set of Venetian blinds.

这一切要从一套威尼斯百叶窗帘说起。

" Shut up, " the other one said and dropped the venetian blind.

“闭嘴，” 另一个说着放下了百叶帘。

He walked over to the front window and yanked the venetian blind up.

他走到前窗， 拉起百叶窗。

The big one had orange-yellow venetian blinds and a twelve-paned window facing on the lake.

大的有橙黄色的百叶窗和一扇面向湖面的十二格窗户。

She pretended a vendor, vending venetian blinds that were veneered with velvet.

她装成一个小贩，贩卖镶盖有天鹅绒的软百叶窗。

I opened windows and pulled up venetian blinds and lifted a dirty ash tray off the cocktail table in front of her.

我打开窗户，拉起百叶窗，从她面前的鸡尾酒桌上拿起一个脏兮兮的烟灰缸。

Now, if you have blinds where the slats are horizontal, we usually call those " venetian blinds, " like the city of Venice in Italy.

现在，如果你的百叶窗的板条是水平的，我们通常称之为“百叶窗” ，就像意大利的威尼斯市。

The upward edges of black coffee at the corners of the mouth gave his expression a false smile and the whole face was faintly striped by the light through the Venetian blinds.

嘴角上翘的黑咖色让他的表情带着一丝虚伪的笑意，透过百叶窗的光线，整张脸都隐隐约约地出现了条纹。

Half-closed Venetian blinds obscured the view from the window, but cast bars of early sunlight over the few pieces of furniture and over part of the brightly papered wall and the brown stained floorboards.

半开的百叶窗遮住了窗外的景色，但清晨的阳光在几件家具、部分亮纸墙和染成棕色的地板上投下了一道道光柱。

So I took my post without a murmur in the front room above the shop. The fixtures had been left for the refusal of the incoming tenant, and fortunately for us they included Venetian blinds which were already down.

于是，我在店铺楼上的前屋里，一声不吭地上岗了。由于新房客的拒绝，这些固定装置被留下了，对我们来说幸运的是，它们包括已经放下的百叶窗。

The venetian blinds were down across the front windows and the place had a sleepy look. I stepped down over the Korean moss and punched the bell and saw that the door was not quite shut.

百叶窗垂在前窗上，这个地方看起来很困倦。我走下朝鲜苔藓，敲了敲门铃，发现门还没有完全关上。

I opened the windows wide to let out the smell of dust and dinginess that collected in the night and hung in the still air, in the corners of the room, in the slats of the venetian blinds.

我把窗户开得大大的， 散发出夜间积聚的灰尘和肮脏的气味， 这些气味弥漫在静止的空气中、房间的角落里和百叶窗的板条上。

He stood in the middle of the floor and looked at his wrist watch and made a note in a notebook and then looked out of the front windows, holding the venetian blinds to one side to do it.

看着他的手表， 在笔记本上记下笔记， 然后从前窗向外看， 把百叶窗拉到一边做这件事。
