被修剪过的 meaning in English

shorn

While this corn was growing , i made a little discovery which was of use to me afterwards : as soon as the rains were over , and the weather began to settle , which was about the month of november , i made a visit up the country to my bower , where though i had not been some months , yet i found all things just as i left them
大约十一月，雨季刚过，天气开始转晴，我去了我的乡间茅舍。我离开那儿已好几个月了，但发现一切如旧。我修筑的双层围墙，不仅完好无损，而且，从附近砍下来的那些树桩都发了芽，并长出了长长的枝条，仿佛是去年被修剪过的柳树一样。
