The white one with the rose comb had come and settled on the palings in front of the house, within a few yards of them, and his notes thrilled their ears through, dwindling away like echoes down a valley of rocks. 一只长着红冠子的白公鸡早已经落在了屋前的栅栏顶上,离他们只有几码远,公鸡的长鸣震荡着他们的耳膜,然后就像山谷里的回声一样地消失了。
The palings are glued together like a wall. 木栅栏被冰冻连成了一堵围墙。
With many of the palings missing altogether. 很多木栅都已经丢失了。
