Spring is showery, flowery, bowery. 春天雷雨阵阵,百花吐艳,树荫宜人。
Along the Bowery, men slouched through it with collars and hats pulled over their ears. 在波威里街上,人们都把衣领和帽子拉到耳朵边,没精打采地从街上走过。
They frequent the Bowery and those down- at-the-heels East Side streets where poor clothes and shrunken features are not singled out as curious. 他们常去波威里街和那些破烂不堪的东区街道,在那里褴褛的衣衫和枯槁的形容是不足为奇的。
