The garden of the madhouse was so perfectly planned, and answered so exquisitely to every hour of daylight, that one could almost fancy that the sunlight was caught there tangled in its tinted trees, as the wise men of Gotham tried to chain the spring to a bush.
疯人院的花园布局如此完美,与白昼每一刻的光线配合得如此精妙,令人几乎以为阳光被缠留在那些斑斓的树间,正如哥谭村的聪明人试图把春天锁在灌木上一样。
