Today our master Thatchers will begin giving this barn me, a sturdy thatched roof, able to withstand heavy wind and last 1000 years.

今天将为大家介绍这个谷仓上坚固的茅草屋顶，它能经受大风，并且已经存在一千年了。

Our thatchers here have harvested their own natural materials for the job, the bundles of the water reeds, you see lying over there beside the barn.

我们的茅屋匠为他们的工作选择了自己喜欢的自然材料，譬如你在谷仓旁边看到的用芦苇扎成的芦苇束。

The Thatchers were there, the Harpers, the Rogerses, Aunt Polly, Sid, Mary, the minister, the editor, and a great many more, and all dressed in their best.

他们是撒切尔一家、哈帕一家、罗杰斯一家、波莉姨妈、希德、玛丽、牧师、报馆撰稿人，还有很多别的人，大家全都衣着考究。
