At seven o'clock, the four members ascended to the clubroom, tied their badges round their heads, and took their seats with great solemnity.

七点钟，四位成员登部活动室，把白布条系在头，极为郑重其事地就座。

In the drawing-room and clubroom and ballroom, where people of leisure and education come together, where comedy is bred and shades of character revealed, he is awkward and ill at ease.

在客厅、部和舞厅里，那有闲暇和有教养的聚集在起，在那里滋生喜剧，在那里显露出性格的阴影，他感到尴尬和局促不安。

There were the business-like, with their little bags; there were the drifters rattling sticks upon area railings;there were affable characters to whom the streets serve for clubroom, hailing men in carts and giving information without being asked for it.

有务员， 带着他们的小包；有流浪者在区域栏杆发出嘎嘎声； 有和蔼可亲的物， 街道为部提供服务，招呼手推车里的， 并在没有被要求的情况下提供信息。
