患结核病的女人没有入睡，她睁着大眼睛，把披风叠在头下，试图忍住激怒她喉咙的痰，并且不咳嗽。 —

其他一些女人，大多数人身上只穿着粗麻布化学纤维衣，站在窗前看着庭院里的囚犯，有些人坐在缝纫。

她犯下的罪行是，当一个新兵按照农民的观点在非法地从他们的村庄带走时，村民们拦住警察并把新兵从他手中夺走时，她（新兵非法被带走的姑姑）第一个抓住了牵着新兵的马的缰绳。 —

The other, who sat doing nothing, was a kindly, grey-haired old woman, hunchbacked and with a flat bosom. —
另一个坐在那里无所事事的是一位友善的、白发苍苍的老妇人，驼背而胸部扁平。 —

她身边站着一个笨拙、黑色的小女人，比十岁小孩还矮，腰部很长，腿却很短，脸红肿，嘴唇厚厚的，掩盖不住她的长牙齿，眼睛相距过远。 —

She stood a little further from the window knitting a stocking, and though she listened to the other prisoners’ words she shook her head disapprovingly, frowned, and closed her eyes. —
她站在离窗户稍远的地方，一边织着一只袜子，一边听着其他囚犯的话语，皱着眉头，闭着眼睛表示不赞成。 —

But her seven-year-old daughter stood in her little chemise, her flaxen hair done up in a little pigtail, her blue eyes fixed, and, holding the red-haired woman by the skirt, attentively listened to the words of abuse that the women and the convicts flung at each other, and repeated them softly, as if learning them by heart. —
但她七岁的女儿穿着小内衣站在一边，金发扎成小辫子，蓝眼睛注视着，扯住红发女人的裙子，专心聆听妇女和囚犯们相互辱骂的话语，并轻声重复着，像是在背诵。 —

The thick, short plait of her fair hair had come undone and hung down dishevelled, and she paced up and down the free space of the cell, not looking at any one, turning abruptly every time she came up to the wall.
她浓密而短的金发辫子散乱下来，她不看任何人，只是在牢房的空地上来回走动，每次走到墙边都会突然转身。
