Sample Sentences

哎,我觉得新天地这种利用上海的老式石库门建筑来构造的娱乐场所,虽然很有特色,但却少了石库门作为一种民居而包含的人文情怀。不过那些斑驳的墙,生锈的栅栏,黑漆的木门,磨去油漆的石柱,凹凸不平的路面,还是能让人体会到一些石库门弄堂的沧桑的。

But those mottled walls, rusty railings, black-lacquered wooden doors, black-painted stone pillars and uneven roads still give you a sense of the big changes in the shikumen.
