The Beauforts had been among ther first people in New York to own their own red velvet carpet and have it rolled down the steps by their own footmen,....Beaufort家是紐約最早擁有自家紅色天鵝絨地毯的人家之一。關(guān)鍵是，have it rolled down the steps by他們家仆人...怎么解釋？roll down the steps什么意思？謝謝

rolled down the steps by their own footmen——由他家仆人順著臺階鋪下來。地毯這個東西收起的時候是卷著的，鋪的時候自然要滾動打開，而臺階是往下走的，這就是 rolled down 的來由。
