convention

The family continued all of the church of england till about the end of charles the second ' s reign , when some of the ministers that had been ousted for their non - conformity holding conventicles in northamp - tonshire , my uncle benjamin and father josiah adhered to them , and so continued all their lives : the rest of the family remained with the episcopal church 我們全家繼續信奉英國教直到卻爾斯二世在位之末期,當時有些因為不信國教而被斥逐的教堂理事者在諾坦成登夏非國教派的宗教會議,拜雅明和耶賽埃加入他們,繼續過著他們的一生,其馀的家族自屬于圣公會。

For the first week , whenever i looked out on the pond it impressed me like a tarn high up on the side of a mountain , its bottom far above the surface of other lakes , and , as the sun arose , i saw it throwing off its nightly clothing of mist , and here and there , by degrees , its soft ripples or its smooth reflecting surface was revealed , while the mists , like ghosts , were stealthily withdrawing in every direction into the woods , as at the breaking up of some nocturnal conventicle 在第一個星期內,無論什么時候我凝望著湖水,湖給我的印象都好像山里的一泓龍潭,高高在山的一邊,它的底還比別的湖沼的水平面高了不少,以至日出的時候,我看到它脫去了夜晚的霧衣,它輕柔的粼波,或它波平如鏡的湖面,都漸漸地在這里那里呈現了,這時的霧,像幽靈偷偷地從每一個方向,退隱入森林中,又好像是一個夜間的秘密宗教集會散會了一樣。

She became equally averse to the church and the conventicle 她對教堂和非國教教派的秘密集會處變得同樣地不喜歡。
