于是我就问阿尔米塔奇，半干肉和房椽肉肯定是同一道菜的两个版本，并且是一种北欧亲缘的证据？

Surely , I asked Armitage , raest and reestit were versions of the same dish , and evidence of a Nordic connection ?

他甚至不得不把车停在大街上，因为他的车库里堆满了各类各样的火成岩的标本，一向堆到房椽上。

记忆中挂在房椽上的一串串粽子仿佛某种来自异国的奇特水果，我们从下方经过的时候常常要小心，偶而会有水珠滑过竹叶滴落下来。

The rafters sprouted dangling bunches of dumplings like some strange exotic fruits and we would tread carefully underneath , avoiding the occasional drop of water sliding off the bamboo leaves .

房椽吱吱作响，围着房子的树枝哗啦哗啦地击打着窗户，一切都在狂风的势力之下苟延残喘。

The rafters creaked and strained , and the branches of the trees surrounding the house rattled and beat against the windows , as the winds rioted up and down the country .
