It was a huge quadrilateral with canted corners, ten meters long, six wide, five high.
這客廳是一個長方形的大房間，長十米，寬六米，高五米，
A luminous ceiling, decorated with delicate arabesques, distributed a soft, clear daylight over all the wonders gathered in this museum.
夭花板飾有淡淡的圖案花紋，裝在天花板上的燈球射出明亮柔和的光線，照耀著陳列在這博物館中的奇珍異寶。
For a museum it truly was, in which clever hands had spared no expense to amass every natural and artistic treasure,
因為這客廳實際上是一所博物館，一只智慧的妙手把自然界和藝術上的一切珍奇都聚在這里，
displaying them with the helter-skelter picturesqueness that distinguishes a painter's studio.
使它帶著一個畫家工作室所特有的那種富有藝術性的凌亂。
Some thirty pictures by the masters, uniformly framed and separated by gleaming panoplies of arms, adorned walls on which were stretched tapestries of austere design.
四周的墻壁懸掛著圖案壁毯，壁毯上點綴著三十來幅名畫，畫框子都是一式一樣的，每幅畫之間隔以閃閃發亮的武器飾物。
There I saw canvases of the highest value, the likes of which I had marveled at in private European collections and art exhibitions.
我看見其中有不少名貴的作品，大部分我在歐洲私人的收藏館中，或在圖畫展覽會上曾經欣賞過。
