1.She had lived in the flat for thirty years and was a veritable magpie at hoarding; and it seemed as though everything she possessed had been tossed out and turned over and over.
请问magpie at hoarding怎么理解呢?
2.In the life her thoughts were on lunch and a good rest; but when she got out at her own floor, both were forgotten in her sudden discovery that her front door was open.
1).请问but前为什么要加“;”,我见过好几个在but前加;的用法了?这有什么语法要求吗?
2)....in her sudden discovery that...这里为什么用in呢?
谢谢

A 请问veritable magpie at hoarding怎么理解呢?
地地道道的喜欢积聚(贮藏)财物的人

B 关于分号的应用: 
以下摘自 http://bbs.24en.com/thread-140199-1-1.html

1. 用于分隔无连接代词的独立子句:
The river rose and overflowed its banks; roads became flooded and impassable; freshly plowed fields disappeared from sight.
Cream the shortening and sugar; add the eggs and beat well.

2. 有连接代词的子句间通常用逗号分隔,但有时逗号会引起混淆,就用分号代替:
We fear that this situation may, in fact, occur; but we don't know when.

3. 两个句子中的第二个的语法结构为从前省略时,以分号连接两者:
The veal dishes were very good; the desserts, too.

4. 两个子句的第二句以连接副词(或起连接副词作用的短语)如accordingly, however, indeed, thus, in that case, as a result, on the other hand开始时,以分号连接两个子句:
Most people are covered by insurance of one kind or another; indeed, many people don't even see their medical bills.
The case could take years to work its way through the corut system; as a result, many plantiffs will accept out-of-court settlements.

5. 三个或以上的子句由分号分隔,且最后一句前有but, because这样的连接词时,最后一个分号常以逗号代替:
The report recounted events leading up to this incident; it included observations of eyewitnesses, but it drew no conclusions.

用于介绍性表述
6. 分号有时用于for example, for instance, that is, namely, e.g., i.e.等开关的介绍性表述前(也可用逗号、破折号和分号):
On one point only did everyone agree; namely, too much money had been spent already.
We were fairly successful on that project; that is, we made our deadlines and met our budget.

用于序列中
7. 以逗号分隔的序列,如果本来就包含逗号,则需要使用分号来分隔序列:
The visitor to Barndale can choose from three sources of overnight accommodation: The Rose and Anchor, which houses Barndale's oldest pub; The Crawford, and American-style luxury hotel; and Ellen's Bed and Breakfast on Peabody Lane.

8. 如果一个序列很长,或者是由句子组成,则常以分号分隔

9. 如果逗号分隔一个序列容易引起混淆,则以分号代替:
The votes against were: Precinct 1, 338; Precinct 2, 627; Precinct 3, 514.


<2)....in her sudden discovery that...这里为什么用in呢?>

in her sudden discovery: 介词短语作状语 
在她突然发现....
