Answer 1

Hallowed意思是神圣的,形容词.严格说起来,time-hallowed逻辑上是不通的.但是英语里这是常用的表达,可以认为是两个表达结合起来的：time-honored和hallowed,所以可以翻译成悠久而神圣的.这个要当形容词来用.例句：
This was time-hallowed ground that had to be abandoned forever.
This attack on a time-hallowed piece of college discipline brought a demand for his resignation as assistant tutor.
The horses and carriages were soon brought round,the parties were arranged,and the joyous group in motion for the time-hallowed Ruins of Kilmallock.
