Ove continues fingering the corrugated iron.

欧维继续摆弄铁皮。

" Do you have any corrugated iron? " he asks back.

“你们家有波形铁皮吗？”他问。

" Corrugated iron; that's it, " says Ove with a nod.

“对，铁皮。”欧维点头。

" You got any corrugated iron? " wonders Ove, without allowing any time for small talk.

“你家有波形铁皮吗？”欧维也不寒暄，开门见山地问。

Ove stays where he is with the sheet of corrugated iron in his hand and the cat at his side.

欧维手里拿着铁皮和猫一起留在原地。

And then he packs up the battery and clamps and corrugated iron and puts everything in the garage.

接着他收起电池、钳子和铁皮，把它们塞进车库。

He lays out the sheet of corrugated iron across the paving stones between the shed and the house and carefully covers it with snow.

然后他把那片大铁皮铺在储藏室和房子之间的地上，仔细地在上面盖上一层雪。

You can see it on corrugated iron roofs, metal gates in the countryside and so on.

你可以在乡村的波纹铁皮屋顶、金属大门等处看到它的身影。

A minute later, Ove turns up triumphantly in the doorway, dragging a gigantic piece of corrugated iron, as big as a living room rug.

一分钟之后，欧维得意地拽着一块巨大的波形铁皮出现在门廊外，那铁皮跟客厅用的地毯差不多大。

" Corrugated iron? " he says to himself, as if tasting the word, like someone who's just woken up and is intensely trying to remember what he's been dreaming.

“铁皮？”他自言自语道，就像要把这个词咀嚼一遍似的，恰似如梦初醒的人在努力回忆着梦境。
