舉Preface中的
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer was a great success and is considered a classic ...whom I knew, and therefore belongs to the composite order of architecture.
PREFACE

Most of the adventures recorded in this book really occurred; one or two
were experiences of my own, the rest those of boys who were schoolmates
of mine. Huck Finn is drawn from life; Tom Sawyer also, but not from an
individual--he is a combination of the characteristics of three boys whom
I knew, and therefore belongs to the composite order of architecture.

 composite order of architecture 複合式建造物


《湯姆索耶歷險記》南京:譯林,2000{譯林本}
這一形象類似建築上的混合型結構。

查辭典和Wiki可知更確切的說法:2 ((C-))《建築》コンポジット式の,混合柱式の:イオニア様式とコリント様式を折衷した.
  1. 混合柱式是一種出現於古羅馬時期的大理石柱樣式,結合了愛奧尼亞科林斯柱式的風格,柱首採用渦紋,以葉形裝飾。Wikipedia: English

 "composite order of architecture"在此文脈下是人物Tom 是由3位小孩的特性所綜合而成。

第1章:

The old lady pulled her spectacles down and looked over them about the
room; then she put them up and looked out under them. She seldom or
never looked _through_ them for so small a thing as a boy; they were
her state pair, the pride of her heart, and were built for "style," not
service--she could have seen through a pair of stove-lids just as well.
She looked perplexed for a moment, and then said, not fiercely, but
still loud enough for the furniture to hear:

"Well, I lay if I get hold of you I'll--"



 據{遠東本},上文黑體字意思:它們是為了好看而作的,不是為了實用。...她戴那副眼鏡,還不如戴一副火爐鐵蓋(同樣對他的視力無幫助)。

 
{譯林本}:戴上它是為了"體面",而非實用---她就是眼前罩上一對火爐蓋,也啥都能看得清清楚楚。
