她这会儿正用一把锋利的小剪子把去年的菊花枝剪短,还不时朝站在拖拉机棚边上的三个男人望一望。她的脸上充满着渴望,看起来成熟漂亮——甚至连她拿着剪刀干活的样子都显得那么有力,饱含期待,以至于那些菊花的枯杆相比之下都显得纤细柔弱,容易收拾了。
She brushed a cloud of hair out of her eyes with the back of her glove, and left a smudge of earth on her cheek in doing it. Behind her stood the neat white farm house with red geraniums close-banked around it as high as the windows. It was a hard-swept looking little house with hard-polished windows, and a clean mud-mat on the front steps.
她用手套的背部将眼前的一绺乌发抹开,一点污渍就留在了她的脸颊上。她身后是整洁的白色农舍,红色的天竺葵紧紧地簇拥着,直到窗户附近。看得出这座不大的屋子好好打扫过,窗户也曾细心地擦拭过,就连前面台阶上的擦鞋垫都收拾得干干净净。
Elisa cast another glance toward the tractor shed. The strangers were getting into their Ford coupe. She took off a glove and put her strong fingers down into the forest of new green chrysanthemum sprouts that were growing around the old roots. She spread the leaves and looked down among the close-growing stems. No aphids were there, no sowbugs or snails or cutworms. Her terrier fingers destroyed such pests before they could get started.
