the support of the fabric forever

地下倫敦 北京:新星2006


這本書的翻譯有時很"妙 "譬如說 214-15 頁談教堂的fabric 望文生義將 它翻譯成綸紱

其實fabric 就是((古))建造物, 建物./(特に教会堂の)建造;維持.

In 1348, John Thavie, a local armourer, “left a considerable Estate towards the support of the fabric forever”, a legacy which survived the English Reformation, was invested carefully through the centuries, and still provides for the church's current upkeep. In the 15th century, the wooden church was replaced by a medieval stone one.[5]
