1. 丛芳的解释
1. 亨利沃登勋爵躺在用波斯毡子做面的无靠背长沙发上，照例接连不断地抽着无数只的烟卷。他从放沙发的那个角落只能望见一丛芳甜如蜜、色也如蜜的金链花的疏影，它从那颤巍巍的枝条看起来载不动这般灿烂绚丽的花朵；间或，飞鸟的奇异的影子掠过垂在大窗前的柞丝绸长帘，造成一霎那的日本情调，使他联想起一些面色苍白的东京画家，他们力求通过一种本身只能是静止的艺术手段，来表现迅捷和运动的感觉。
From the corner of the divan of Persian saddle-bags on which he was lying, smoking, as was his custom, innumerable cigarettes, Lord Henry Wotton could just catch the gleam of the honey-sweet and honey-colored blossom of a laburnum, whose tremulous branches seemed hardly able to bear the burden of a beauty so flame-like as theirs; and now and then the fantastic shadows of birds in flight flitted across the long tussore-silk curtains that strechted in front of the huge window, producing a kind of momentary Japanese effect, and make him think of those pallid jade-faced painters of Tokio who, through the medium of an art that is necessarily immobile, seek to convey the sense of swiftness and motion.
