melodia

An acclimatised britisher he had seen that summer eve from the footplate of an engine cab of the loop line railway company while the rain refrained from falling glimpses , as it were , through the windows of loveful households in dublin city and urban district of scenes truly rural of happiness of the better land with dockrell s wallpaper at one and ninepence a dozen , innocent british born bairns lisping prayers to the sacred infant , youthful scholars grappling with their pensums , model young ladies playing on the pianoforte or anon all with fervour reciting the family rosary round the crackling yulelog while in the boreens and green lanes the colleens with their swains strolled what times the strains of the organtoned melodeon britannia metalbound with four acting stops and twelvefold bellows , a sacrifice , greatest bargain ever . . 那個夏天的傍晚,當雨住了的時候,他站在環行線鐵道公司機豐駕駛室的踏板上,隔著都柏林市內和郊區那些恩愛之家的窗戶,瞥見幸福的地地道道牧歌式的鄉間生活,墻上糊的是由多克雷爾120店里買來的每打一先令九便士的墻紙。這里,在英國出生的天真爛漫的娃娃們,口不清地對圣嬰作著禱告年輕學子們拼死拼活地用著功模范的淑女們彈著鋼琴,或圍著噼噼啪啪燃燒著的那截圣誕夜圓木,闔家念誦玫瑰經。

But you have a melodeon 但你有一只手風琴了

I was glad to learn that our piano, our parlour organ and our melodeon were to be the best instruments of the kind that could be had in the market . 聽說我們的鋼琴、風琴、和簧風琴都是市面上最好的樂器,我真高興。
