cleared round meaning in English

退出的炮弹

An individual standing inside the balustrade in the space left clear round the marble table , and whom up till now no one had noticed , so effectually was his tall and spare figure concealed from view by the thickness of the pillar against which he leaned ? this person , thin , sallow , light - haired , young still , though furrowed of brow and cheek , with gleaming eye and smiling mouth , clad in black serge threadbare and shiny with age , now approached the marble table and signed to the wretched victim
此人一直站在栏杆里边，大理石桌子周围的空档里，谁都没有瞅见他，因为他又长又瘦的身子靠在圆柱上，柱子的直径完全挡住任何人的视线；此人高挑个儿，消瘦干瘪，脸色苍白，头发金黄，额头和腮帮上都有了皱纹，却还很年轻，目光炯炯，满脸笑容，身上穿的黑哔叽衣服旧得都磨破了，磨光了。
