I returned to my book -- Bewick's History of British Birds: the letterpress thereof I cared little for, generally speaking; and yet there were certain introductory pages that, child as I was, I could not pass quite as a blank.
letterpress怎么翻 为什么
certain怎么翻
and yet there were certain introductory pages that中的that起什么作用
child as I was child为什么在前面


解答:

“letterpress”= 字体。“letter”在这里是英语字母的“letter”,没有书信的意思。“press”,是因为以往的印刷技术是需要靠压力压印的。

“certain”= 某一部分。

“that”是用来把句子带引到句的最后一部分“I could not pass quite as a blank.”。

“child as I was”与“as I was child”的意思不一样,“child as I was”= 虽然我是一个小孩。
