小修道院

Once upon a time, there was an abbess in a small abbey.

很久以前，一个小修道院里有一个女修道院院长。

It chanced that St Francis came one day to that convent, and in the evening, after Compline, he went to rest, so as to rise up early to pray, as was his custom, when all the other friars were still asleep.

有一天，方济各碰巧来到了这个小修道院，晚上，晚祷以后，他去休息了，因为第二天他要在其他僧侣还没有起来时，早起去祷告。

The priory belongs to Professor Marcus Scarman, anarchaeologist and Egyptologist.

这所小修道院是属于一位考古学家及古埃及文化学者Marcus Scarman教授的。

Taking it as a sign from God, he decided to settle down and build the first hermitage.

他认为这是来自上主的启示，于是决定留下来，开始建造第一所小修道院。

For it was they, and their ox little abbot, who plotted to incarcerate me in this dungeon hall for an eternity.

在1525年，在解散小修道院以填充沃尔西给牛津和伊普斯维奇的基金的行动中，他是沃尔西的代理人。这一任务使克伦威尔在后来更大规模的类似行动中，眼光独到、驾轻就熟。

Its most celebrated act was to bring a private prosecution against a priory of Norbertine monks who kept 650 veal calves.

该组织最为著名的行动是对诺伯丁一所小修道院的修士们提起的自诉。

This places the Doctorunder Sutekh's control and he is returned to the priory in order thathe may transport Scarman to Mars.

此举却把博士置于Sutekh控制下，博士被送回小修道院，使他可以把Scarman带到火星。

In the negative and interrogative forms, of course, this is identical to the non-emphatic forms.
