回译练习
①我们的操场很大，比大多数监狱的操场都大。是一个正方形，一边90码。
Our yard is big, much bigger than most. It's a perfect square, ninety yards on a side.
②东边是一堵厚墙，上面都是小缝窗。五区牢房就在那堵墙的另一边。
The east side is a thick stone wall full of tiny slit windows. Cellblock 5 is on the other side of that wall.
③在四八年那会儿差不多只有2/3的牢房关有犯人，但是大部分时候操场上基本都能有80-120 个犯人——扔扔球，扯扯淡，唠唠叨叨，搞点小交易之类的。
Back in '48 it was only filled to something like two-thirds capacity, but at any given time there might be eighty to a hundred and twenty cons on the yard—playing toss with a football or baseball, shooting craps, jawing at each other, making deals.
