红地毯

Madonna may have walked the red carpet in a glittering Chanel gown to launch her new film at Cannes on Wednesday, but the nature of I Am Because We Are is in stark contrast to the high-octane glamour of the Croisette.

麦当那也许于周三穿着她闪闪发光的香奈儿毛戎大衣走在猩红的地毯上，但是，这部电影的内容本质与这家大酒店的富丽堂皇的感觉是格格不入的。

But to the chamber which lies most westwardly of the seven there are now none of the maskers who venture, for the night is waning away; and there flows a ruddier light through the blood-colored panes; and the blackness of the sable drapery appalls; and to him whose foot falls on the sable carpet, there comes from the near clock of ebony a muffled peal more solemnly emphatic than any which reaches their ears who indulge in the more remote gaieties of the other apartments.

但是，西厢那一间，那些参加化装舞会的还是没人敢去。夜色渐阑，从血红的窗玻璃中泻进一派红光；阴森森的帷幔那片乌黑，令人魂飞魄散；凡是站在阴森森的地毯上的人，一听到近头乌檀木时钟发出一阵闷郁的钟声，无不感到比在远头其他屋里纵情声色的人所听到的更肃穆、有力。

As he moved toward what he perceived to be the core of the base, the corridors became more ornate, with rich carpet on the floors, ceilings studded with crystal chandeliers and the walls finished in burgundy and trimmed with gold.

当他对於他感觉是基础的核心移动的时候，走廊变得更装饰的，藉由在地板上的富有地毯，天花板以水晶的吊灯和在红紫色中被完成并且以黄金整理的墙壁布满颗粒。

It is likely that the floor of the central nave was made up of one mosaic carpet. In the field were white flowers with twenty four petals with black lance-shaped leaves and red and black crosses, all on a red background. Especially suited for covering large areas, this design is called "shell-panel" by the archaeologists. It was used again in other places.

中殿的地板像铺了一条马赛克地毯，以红色为背景，有24片花瓣的小白花、黑色长矛形枼子以及红黑交错的十字架呈现其上，这样的设计适合面积较大的区块，考古学家称之为「壳板」，它也被使用在其他地方。

A profusion of color -- from the palest ivory to the deepest lemon to the most vivid salmon -- blazed like a carpet before us.

许多颜色：从最浅的象牙色到最深的柠檬黄到最鲜艳的鲑鱼红像地毯一样展现在我们的眼前。

A profusion of color -- from the palest ivory to the deepest lemon to the most vivid salmon -- blazed like a carpet before us.

各种各样的色彩映入眼帘，从最纯净的象牙白到最深沉的柠檬黄到最鲜亮的橙红，交相辉映，缤纷斑斓，犹如一条织满了颜色的地毯。

As she looked at Warrington's manly face, and dark, melancholy eyes, she had settled in her mind that he must have been the victim of an unhappy attachment.

每逢看到沃林顿那刚毅的脸，那乌黑、忧郁的眼睛，她便会相信，他一定作过不幸的爱情的受害者。

Maybe they'll disappear into a pothole.

也许他们将在壶穴里消失
