The drawing room was very large and very lofty ; its four windows looked out upon the garden , from which , on this rainy evening of the close of april , issued a sensation of damp despite the great logs burning on the hearth . the sun never shone down into the room ; in the daytime it was dimly lit up by a faint greenish light , but at night , when the lamps and the chandelier were burning , it looked merely a serious old chamber with its massive mahogany first empire furniture , its hangings and chair coverings of yellow velvet , stamped with a large design 客厅又大又高，有四扇窗户朝向花园，现在已是四月底了，天气多雨，虽然壁炉里燃着大块劈材，大家仍然感到花园里有一股湿气袭来白天，淡绿色的光线把房间里照得若明若暗但是，到了夜晚，台灯和吊灯都点亮后，这间客厅里却显出一派庄严气氛，陈设有拿破仑时代式样的笨重桃花心木家具，有黄丝绒的帷幔和椅套，上面印着光滑如缎的大图案。
The rooms were too big for her and had never been completely furnished . the vulgar sumptuosity of gilded consoles and gilded chairs formed a crude contrast therein to the bric - a - brac of a secondhand furniture shop - to mahogany round tables , that is to say , and zinc candelabras , which sought to imitate florentine bronze 这套房子对她来说，显得太大了，里面的家具从来没有配全过，陈设豪华而刺眼，几张金色的蜗形脚桌子和几张椅子与从旧货商那里买来的旧货枣几张独脚桃花心木小圆桌几盏模仿佛罗伦萨青铜制品的锌制菱形大烛台摆在一起，显得很不协调。
