弄堂里

我在弄堂里走的时候碰到了张同志。

Coming along the lane , I met Comrade Zhang .

我很留恋小时候在弄堂里到各家各户串门的快乐，以及邻里之间和睦相处的亲情、友情。

I am still attached to the happiness of dropping around in Nongtang , and the passion and fellowship of harmonious relationship in the neighborhood .

四年前，我和一个朋友在上海一条弄堂里发现一个裹着层层衣服的弃婴。

Three short years ago , a friend and I found the newborn , swaddled in several layers of clothing and abandoned in a Shanghai alleyway .

石库门、弄堂里悠闲自在的市民生活，拥挤的街道、繁忙的商场，最有西方味儿的酒吧，在新天地一带隔墙相望，和谐共存。

The leisurely civil life in alleys like Shikumen , the crowded streets , the busy shopping centers and the bars full of Western style in Xintiandi coexist in harmony .

与中国其它城市的老城区一样，弄堂里的居民把自己的精力挥洒在这些巷子里，使弄堂成为社会生活和商业的一个中心。

Like the older parts of other Chinese cities , the energy of the inhabitants spilled out on to these lanes , which were the focus for much social life and commerce .

最好的葱油饼都是身材娇小的大妈做出来的。她们清早六点起床张罗，揉面，摔饼，在这个城市大大小小的弄堂里都能找到这种小小的中式面饼。

The best green onion pancakes are cooked up by little old grannies who get up at 6 a.m. to cook , knead and slap these petite bing in the city 's many longtangs .

孤儿院员工告诉斯特里克兰夫妇，贝拉意志非常刚强，或许这在养父母听来会为之一振，因为也许她就是凭借刚强的意志才挺过了弄堂里的那一夜，以及她幼年时的许多疾病。

Orphanage staff had told the Stricklands that Bella was very strong-willed – perhaps heartening for an adoptive parent to hear , since strong will may be just what got her through that night in the alleyway , and the many illnesses of her infanthood .

弄堂在上海话里表示连接房子的巷子或巷子连接的房子。

Nongtang is the local term used by Shanghai people for linong , which means a lane that connects houses or a group of housesconnected by lanes .
