Most of the wall space was taken up by towering bookshelves that reached high above my head and held more books than I'd ever seen outside a library.

而大部分的墙面都被高耸过我头顶的书架挡住了。这里面的藏书甚至比我在外头见到的一座图书馆的书还要多。

On what wall space was still visible above the shelves I could just make out framed clothes designs, magazine covers from the fifties and sixties with beaming, angular models in psychedelic shift dresses, or impossibly trim shirtwaisters.

在架子上方仍然可见的墙壁空间上， 我只能辨认出镶框的衣服设计、五六十年代的杂志封面、喜气洋洋的、棱角分明的模特穿着迷幻直筒连衣裙，或者剪裁得不可思议的衬衫腰身。
