Hunger was pushed out of the tall houses , in the wretched clothing that hung upon poles and lines ; hunger was patched into them with straw and rag and wood and paper ; hunger was repeated in every fragment of the small modicum of firewood that the man sawed off ; hunger stared down from the smokeless chimneys , and started up from the filthy street that had no offal , among its refuse , of anything to eat 饑餓是破爛不堪的衣服,在竹竿上,繩子上,從高高的樓房里掛了出來饑餓用稻草破布木片和紙補(bǔ)綴在衣物上饑餓在那人鋸開的少量木柴的每一片上反復(fù)出現(xiàn)饑餓瞪著大眼從不冒煙的煙囪往下看饑餓也從骯臟的街道上飄起,那兒的垃圾堆里沒有一丁點(diǎn)可以吃的東西。
