The rain pounded on the shingled roof and poured in sluiceways at the house corners.

雨敲打着木瓦屋顶， 倾泻在屋槽里。

The proceeds from the sale of public lands were dedicated to the construction of storage dams and sluiceways to hold water and divert it as needed to the thirsty sands.

出售公共土地收益专门用于建造蓄坝和泄道，以蓄并根据需要将引到干渴沙滩。

For when the soft sluiceways of the skies opened and the lichened shingle roof shed the waters in a surge down the northwest sheltered corner of the house, I could strip and accept the benediction.

因为当天空柔软闸打开， 长满苔藓瓦屋顶从房子西北倾泻而下时， 我可以脱下衣服接受祝福。
