The aged visitors who came to my grandmother's house when I was a child were made of lean and leather, and they bore themselves upright.

小时候到我祖母家来的上了年纪的客人都是皮包骨头的，他们挺直身子。

The women bore themselves like ladies and she knew they were ladies, though menial tasks were their daily lot and they didn't know where their next dress was coming from.

妇女们把自己打扮得像太太，她知道她们就是太太，虽然她们每天得做些卑下的活儿，也不清楚她们下次要穿的衣裳从哪儿来。

The Pyncheons, if all stories were true, haughtily as they bore themselves in the noonday streets of their native town, were no better than bond-servants to these plebeian Maules, on entering the topsy-turvy commonwealth of sleep.

如果所有的故事都是真实的，品钦夫妇在他们家乡小镇的正午街道上傲慢自大，在进入颠倒的睡眠共同体时，他们只不过是这些平民莫勒斯的仆人。
