It was the sole profane ring which was linked to that devout chain of convents.

这是混迹于这一由修道院组成的虔诚链条中仅有绝无的世俗环节。

It was so in the Neo-Classic, gates were demolished or redesigned and expanded for linking the roads and became squares surrounded by convents.

大门被拆除或重新设计，并被扩大以便连接道路，成为被修道院包围的广场，一切都离不开新古典风格。

Sometimes children left in convents or monasteries were kept because the nuns or priests felt more strongly about saving souls than reuniting families.

有时，那些安置在修道院的孩子会被留下，因为在修女或神父的心中，孩子回归家庭怀抱远比不上拯救灵魂来得重要。
