英语翻译
The country itself is not uncomely,despite the grime of the endless mills.It is,in form,a narrow river valley,with deep gullies running up into the hills.It is thickly settled,but not:noticeably overcrowded.There is still plenty of room for building,even in the larger towns,and there are very few solid blocks.Nearly every house,big and little,has space on all four sides.Obviously,if there were architects of any professional sense or dignity in the region,they would have perfected a chalet to hug the hillsides--a chalet with a high-pitched roof,to throw off the heavy Winter snows,but still essentially a low and clinging building,wider than it was tall.But what have they done?They have taken as their model a brick set on end.This they have converted into a thing of dingy clapboards with a narrow,low-pitched roof.And the whole they have set upon thin,preposterous brick piers .By the hundreds and thousands these abominable houses cover the bare hillsides,like gravestones in some gigantic and decaying cemetery.On their deep sides they are three,four and even five stories high; on their low sides they bury themselves swinishly in the mud.Not a fifth of them are perpendicular .They lean this way and that,hanging on to their bases precariously .And one and all they are streaked in grime,with dead and eczematous patches of paint peeping through the streaks.

尽管到处是林立的工厂,遍地弥漫着烟尘,这一地区的自然 霉仟并不差.就地形而论,这儿是一条狭窄的河谷,其中流淌着一道道发源自山间的深溪.这儿的人口虽然稠密,但并无过分拥挤的迹象,即使在一些较大的城镇中,建筑方面也还大有发展的余地.这儿很少见到有高密度排列的建筑楼群,几乎每一幢房屋,无论 大小,其四周都还有剩余的空地.显然,如果这一地区有几个稍有职业责任感或荣誉感的建筑师的话,他们准会紧依山坡建造一些美观雅致的瑞士式山地小木屋——一种有着便于冬季排除积雪的陡坡屋顶,宽度大于高度,依山而建的低矮的小木屋.可是,他们实际上是怎么做的呢?他们把直立的砖块作为造房的模式,造出了一种用肮脏的护墙板围成的不伦不类的房屋,屋顶又窄又平,而且整个地安放在一些单薄的、奇形怪状的砖垛上.这种丑陋不堪的房屋成百上千地遍布于一个个光秃秃的山坡上,就像是一些墓碑竖立在广阔荒凉的坟场上.这些房屋高的一侧约有三四层,甚至五层楼高,而低的一侧看去却像一群埋在烂泥潭里的猪猡.垂直式的房屋不到五分之一,大部分房屋都是那样东倒西歪,摇摇欲坠地固定在地基上.每幢房屋上都积有一道道的尘垢印痕,而那一道道垢痕的间隙中,还隐隐约约露出一些像湿疹痂一样的油漆斑痕.
