勾留

Yeobright's visit to his mother was to be of short duration.

姚伯回来看他母亲,只是短期的勾留.

A friend kept me in Nanjing for a day to see the sights, and the next morning I was to cross the Yangtze to Pukou to take the afternoon train to the north.

到南京时，有朋友约去游逛，勾留了一日；第二日上午便须渡江到浦口，下午上车北去。

" He's been detained on business, " muttered Tang Yun-shan in reply , lighting a cigarette.

“ 吉翁有点事勾留住了.

I spent the first day in Nanjing strolling about with some friends at their invitation and was ferrying across the Yangtze River to Pukou the same day.

到南京时有朋友约去游逛勾留了一日第二日上午便须渡江到浦口下午上车北去。

We can't stay here for too long because we don't have much living expenses left.

我们不能在这儿勾留过久,因为我们的生活费已经不多了.
