The chair chuffed slowly up the incline , rocking and jolting on the frozen clods . and suddenly , on the left , came a clearing where there was nothing but a ravel of dead bracken , a thin and spindly sapling leaning here and there , big sawn stumps , showing their tops and their grasping roots , lifeless . and patches of blackness where the woodmen had burned the brushwood and rubbish 小車子饅慢地駛上斜坡,在冰陳了的泥塊上顛簸著前進(jìn),忽然左邊現(xiàn)出一塊空地,是兒只有一叢枯稿了的蕨草,四下雜布著一些斜傾的細(xì)長的小樹,幾根鋸斷了的大樹樁,毫無生氣地露著頂和根還有幾處烏黑的地方,那是樵夫們焚燒樹枝亂草和廢物過后的痕跡。
