At Barnhill, Orwell was accompanied by his surviving sister Avril, his adopted son Richard and his nurse Susan.

在巴恩希尔，陪伴奥威尔的是他幸存的妹妹艾薇儿、他的养子理查德和他的护士苏珊。

By April, Orwell was back at Barnhill and keen to finish the novel by early 1948 but was prevented from doing so by continued ill health.

4 月，奥威尔回到巴恩希尔，渴望在 1948 年初完成这部小说，但由于健康状况不佳而未能如愿。

After falling out with Orwell's sister Avril, Susan Watson had left Barnhill for good the previous autumn, but Richard Rees took it upon himself to spend most of the year at Barnhill looking after Orwell.

在与奥威尔的妹妹艾薇儿闹翻后，苏珊·沃森于去年秋天永远离开了巴恩希尔，但理查德·里斯自己承担了一年中大部分时间在巴恩希尔照顾奥威尔的责任。

By September 1945, Orwell was making plans to move to the Scottish island of Jura in the Inner Hebrides and rented a farmhouse called Barnhill, staying in London for the time being while the house was being renovated.

1945 年 9 月， 奥威尔计划搬到内赫布里底群岛的苏格兰侏罗岛， 并租了一间名为巴恩希尔 (Barnhill) 的农舍，在房屋翻修期间暂时住在伦敦。

The remoteness of Barnhill worked to Orwell's advantage by giving him the time he needed to rest and focus on his novel-writing, although it made it extremely difficult for him to keep in touch with his friends in London.

巴恩希尔的偏远对奥威尔有利， 因为它让他有时间休息并专注于小说写作，尽管这使他很难与伦敦的朋友保持联系。
