贾卫国，英汉对照描写辞典，上海交通大学出版社，2000 Along the road walked an old man. He was white-headed as a mountain, bowed in the shoulders, and faded in general aspect. He wore a glazed hat, an ancient boat-cloak, and shoes: his brass buttons bearing an anchor upon their face. In his hand was a silver-headed walking-stick, which he used as a veritable third leg, perseveringly dotting the ground with its point at very few inches’ interval. One would have said that he had been, in his day, a naval officer of some sort or other. (T.
