Yeah, well, it's a mess over there.

是啊 那边是够乱的。

The soldiers mixed their ration of corn meal with water, and salt too when they could get it, wrapped the thick paste about their ramrods and roasted the mess over camp fires.

士兵们把玉米面加水和好，有盐加点盐，然后把面团在通条上放到营火上烤，这就成了" 通条卷子" 。

But the untidiness was something dreadful—" Never did I see such a mess—smears of honey; and moss, and thistledown—and marks of big and little dirty feet—all over my nice clean house" !

但这种不整洁是可怕的——“我从来没有见过这样一团糟——蜂蜜的痕迹；还有苔藓和蓟绒——还有大小不一的脏脚印——在我漂亮干净的房子里到处都是”！

But they got in a real mess over which Domitia was married to whom and was either the great aunt or the great stepmother and so on to whom when they came to write it down.

但是当他们要记录Domitia和谁结婚了，或者是姨婆还是继祖母等等和谁结婚了的时候，就真是一团糟了。
