这里的the village turned in upon itself by the cold怎么理解？

One of the most familiar of all is a landscape by Bruegel, some times known as The Return of the Hunters, more usually as The Hunters in the Snow. There they go again, those weary men with their gaunt dogs, on the walls of hospital waiting rooms and student lodgings, on your mantlepiece Christmas after Christmas, trudging away from us off the winter hills behind our backs, down into the snowbound valley beneath. Their heads are lowered, their spoils are meager. Three hunters with thirteen dogs to feed and nothing but a single fox to show for their labors. There's no great rejoicing at their return; the women making a fire outside the inn with the sign that's hanging half off its hook don't give them a glance, any more than the plowman looks up to see Icarus vanishing headlong into the sea in that ealier painting of Bruegel's that Auden made almost as famous as the Hunters. What takes the eye is the landscape that opens away at the foot of the hill we are on: the village turned in upon itself by the cold, the tiny figures on the unfamiliar ice, the sky leaden above the white floodplain around the frozen river, a planing magpie black against the whiteness, leading the eye on to the broken teeth of the mountains on the other side of the valley, and the distant town at the end of it beside the winter sea.

上文中turned in作烘托解吗？严寒把整条村庄烘托出来？那么upon用在这里是什么意思呢？我这是根据作hand in解的turn in猜的。而词典里turn in是指路向里弯。求各位指点。

"sour grapes" is the closest I can think of. But if you address这里的阿Q们，just use "Ah Q", we'll get it;)

I soured on who is the "Ah Q".

村子都冻得缩回去了

应该说比我的好！“缩”，正是内向人的表现。但原文似乎，较雅和含蓄，有否更雅的？

村子都冻蔫了/村子都冻傻了/村子都冻得没声了/村子都冻得没言语了/

村子都冻得没响动了

“但见新人笑，哪闻旧人哭”: One love drives out another.

Frailty, thy name is man! 水性杨花，你的名字是男人！

It should be "infidelity, thy name is woman"?

It was a joke. The original line was "Frailty, thy name is woman!" 脆弱，你的名字是女人！

I know the original. Only wished to see an adaptive match. That's it. Thanks!

In this case and in the case of“但见新人笑”,

Yeah, I also thought of this the moment I questioned your adaptation. 水性杨花 is indeed a better version than 脆弱. Thanks!

但见新人笑，不闻旧人哭：He only hears the laughter of the new bride, but not the weeping of the old love.

Hearing only the laughter of Sister Bao, but never the weeping of Sister Lin?

好象不太符合。贾宝玉并没有移情啊。

多情总被无情误，冤枉岂止在宝兄

无情总比多情苦，亦冤亦枉属宝钗！How to say "亦冤亦枉"?/

In Baochai's case, one may put it, "both wronged and betrayed"

Thanks! But i don't understand why. Would you please kindly put it in detail?/

可怜宝钗，后人冤枉，命运捉弄。谢回应！

宝钗宝钗，其实不菜！男士爱戴，女士崇拜！/

千宠万爱终不改，任他随聚随分。Take it easy, my friend!

蜂团蝶阵乱纷纷，终不过"逝水""芳尘"！You, too, have fun and take care!/

无情何来多情苦，寡欲清心宝姑娘

宝姑娘也寡欲清心?连我老夫都要给她羞死了!人非草木,熟能无情?道自己无情者,实大有情也!大有情而看似无情者,人间万苦之最苦也！/

钗无情兮可奈何，政老政老奈若何:)

政老已老兮不奈何，甜心多情兮莫被无情误！just joking, no offense, best wishes!/

多情枉受蜂蝶怜，芳心有归兮静且甜。Thanks!

芳心已归兮静且甜? Congratulations!!!/

Take it easy, tian xin. Merry Christmas To You!/

The same to you, my dear fellow RED lover. Don't forget, "The true becomes false when the false is taken as true." :-)

That's more cynical than romantic. Quite out of character, huh?

You said that just because you didn't understand her!

Wow! That sophisticated? I thought it was just simple romance. Sorry!:-)

The one who understands me, Arch-joker;)

To complete the couplet: 无为有出有还无

假作真时真亦假，林埋薛处薛为林

修正：假作真时真亦假，林埋雪处雪为林

或者：“严寒里的村子显得形孤影单。”

You've got another re on p.3

Got it. Thanks! 另起(to Last Hermit)：或“严寒里的村子显得伶仃孤单”。

似乎与作者原义有出入……且画面上有许多人……
