烂布片

她赤着一双脚，穿一身破烂衣服，仍是那天那么坚定地走进他屋子时的那模样，不过她的破衣又多拖了两个月，洞更大了，烂布片也更脏了。

She was barefooted and in rags , as on the day when she had so resolutely entered his chamber , only her rags were two months older now , the holes were larger , the tatters more sordid .

它们现在被撕成了烂布片。它们以为现在一切都完了，因为它们被剁细了，并且被水煮了。是的，它们自己也不知道它们是甚么。最后它们变成了美丽的白纸。

And at length they fell into rags and tatters ， and thought it was all over with them ， for they were torn to shreds ， and steeped in water ， and made into a pulp ， and dried ， and they knew not what besides ， till all at once they found themselves beautiful white paper .
