简陋小屋

I HAVE got a quiet farm-house in the country, a very humble place to be sure, tenanted by a worthy enough man, of the old New-England stamp, where I sometimes go for a day or two in the winter, to look over the farm accounts, and to see how tie stock is thriving on the winter's keep.

我在乡下有一个小屋，一个很简陋的地方，是从一个和它很相称的旧英格兰风格的老男人那里租来的。冬天我时不时常会去上一两天，察看农场账目，看被套牢的股票是怎么在冬天涨起来的。

Chinesepod is a no-frills operation: althoughbased in Shanghai, the wealth and style capital of China, the 50 staff work in a warehouse-style building in a semi- industrial area on the banks of Suzhou creek: their riverside view is of hovels on the opposite bank.

Chinesepod是一家简朴的公司：尽管总部设在中国的财富及时尚之都上海，但其50名职工的办公地点是在苏州河岸半工业区的一栋仓库式建筑内：他们能看到的河岸风景就是对岸简陋的小屋。
