Translation of "Siheyuans" in Chinese

One hutong connects with another, siheyuans connect with other siheyuans to form a block, and blocks join with other blocks to form the whole city.

一個胡同連接另一個，四合院和其他四合院形成一個街區，而街區跟其他街區匯集成一個城市。

In Beijing, hutongs are alleys formed by lines of siheyuans, the traditional courtyard residences.

在北京，胡同是由四合院的传统居所排形成。

Their siheyuans were far smaller in scale and simpler in design and decoration, and the hutongs were narrower.

他们的四合院要小得多，设计和装饰也比较简单，胡同也比较窄。

Nearly all siheyuans had their main buildings and gates facing south for better lighting, so a majority of hutongs run from east to west.

因为几乎所有的四合院有南面的门和主要楼房，所以大部分的胡同是从东到西建造的。

The large siheyuans of these high-ranking officials and wealthy merchants often featured beautifully carved and painted roof beams and pillars and carefully landscaped gardens.

这些高官和富商的大四合院常常有精美雕刻并粉刷的横梁和柱子，并伴有精心修剪的花园。
