A long hallway, hung profusely with dark, water-stained sporting prints, served as a lobby, in which centuries of sacrificed kippers had left the smell of their smoky souls clinging to the wallpaper. Only the patch of sunshine visible through the open front door relieved the gloom.
一条长长的走廊，上面挂满了墨黑的、沾着水渍的运动图案，充当着一个大厅，几个世纪以来，牺牲掉的腌鱼在这里留下了他们灵魂的烟熏味，粘在墙纸上。只有一小片阳光透过敞开的前门照射进来，驱散了阴霾。
