I pulled away sandspurs abstractedly as I carried out the watering pot.

我端着喷壶出神地拨开沙刺。

The yard was bare sand spotted with sandspurs, with three lean Duchess rosebushes left behind to starve, like cats.

院子里是光秃秃的沙子， 上面点缀着沙刺， 三株瘦弱的公爵夫人玫瑰丛像猫一样被留下来饿死。

I drove her out and penned her properly, and returning to the house, found myself in the middle of a patch of sandspurs waist-high.

我把她赶出去， 把她关起来， 然后回到屋子里， 发现自己在一片齐腰高的沙刺中间。

The chickens, unfed and protesting, got under my feet and tripped me as I made my way through the sandspurs to the pasture gate.

当我穿过沙刺来到牧场大门时， 那些没吃饱并抗议的鸡爬到我脚下绊倒了我。

They wavered with their indecisive flight up under my skirts and stabbed me in the poison ivy, in the nutritional rash, around the sandspurs, and settled with hums of joy in all unoccupied small spaces.

它们犹豫不决地飞到我的裙子下面， 在毒葛、营养皮疹和沙刺周围刺伤了我， 并在所有无人居住的小空间里快乐地嗡嗡作响。

As I say, St. Francis might have blessed the puppies and old Sport and the mosquitoes, with a kind word thrown in for the sandspurs, but I am not of the stuff of saints.

正如我所说， 圣弗朗西斯可能会祝福小狗、老运动和蚊子， 对沙棘说一句客气话， 但我不是圣人。

I was enmeshed with sandspurs, they stuck to voile skirt and to petticoat, creeping up underneath and getting a firm hold with one or two barbs, leaving the others free to grate against my skin.

我被沙棘缠住了， 它们粘在薄纱裙子和衬裙上， 爬到下面，用一两个倒钩牢牢抓住， 让其他的自由地摩擦我的皮肤。

Dinghy the Scotty hated the Florida backwoods from the first sandspur under his tail. He hated the sun, he hated the people, black and white, he hated the roominess of the farm-house and the long quiet of the nights.

斯科蒂小艇从他尾巴下的第一个沙刺开始就讨厌佛罗里达州的偏远地区。他讨厌太阳，讨厌黑人和白人，讨厌农舍的宽敞和夜晚的漫长寂静。
