主要是flooding with。

1. the wealthy of the old regime were retrenching and flooding the market with beautiful hardwood furniture.

【翻译】旧体制时的有钱商人正在紧缩开支，用漂亮的硬木家具充斥市场。（暗示：市面上没有了高档的红木家具，而是出售一些表面上漂亮的硬木家具）

the wealthy 类指 = the wealthy people；flood = fill （充满；充斥）

2. With him was his wife，a sharp efficient woman disliked by the poorer people in the lane for her arrogant manner.

【翻译】和他在一起的是他的妻子，一个精明能干的女人，因态度傲慢，小巷里的穷人都不喜欢她。

With him was his wife，主系表完全倒装，只因后面有一个很长的主语的同位语。

【翻译技巧】运用“拆译法”，把一个长长的词组或句子，拆成若干个意群去翻译。如本句，一个词组被拆成3个意群。
