The evening shadows were lengthening.

傍晚的影子正在变长。

The shadows are lengthening for me.

我的影子在拉长。

At a time of austerity and lengthening lifespans.

但在严厉的时刻和延长的期限的条件下。

A cellist is always shortening and lengthening the strings.

大提琴演奏家总是在压缩或拉长弦。

Lengthening and broadening them does not mean tensing them.

延长展宽并不意味着使双脚紧张。
