1. When the curtain rises, MISS OGDEN, Principal, is sitting at her desk, and MISS DIETRICH, a young teacher, in an armchair near the fireplace.
    幕启。校长奥格登小姐坐在办公桌旁。年青教师迪特里希坐在壁炉旁的扶手椅上。

2. He sat reading beside the fireplace.
    他坐在壁炉边读书。

3. On both sides of the fireplace and opposite the window were crowded bookshelves, on the top of which packets of newspapers and manuscripts were piled up to the ceiling.
    在壁炉的两旁和窗户的对面挤满了书架，书架上面成捆的报纸和手稿一直堆放到了屋顶。
