" I am going to be a furze- and turf-cutter."

“我准备去当一个割荆棘和挖草皮的工人。”

" Clym cuts furze, but he does it mostly as a useful pastime, because he can do nothing else."

“克林在砍荆棘，不过他干这事主要是作为一种有用的消遣罢了，因为他干不了别的。”

Scrambling higher into the hedge and stretching her neck further over the furze, Elfride beheld the individual signified.

埃尔弗里德爬到树篱的更高处，把脖子伸得更远，越过金雀花，她看到了所指的个体。

The brakes of furze and fern terminated abruptly round the margin, and the grass was unbroken.

一丛丛的荆棘和蕨草，蔓延到这块地的边缘就突然停止了，而绿草却是连绵不断。

Wildeve bade her a tender farewell, and plunged across the fern and furze, Eustacia slowly walking on.

韦狄诚挚地向她道了别，纵身越过蕨草和荆棘丛，游苔莎缓缓地继续往前走去。

They came from a part of the heath a quarter of a mile to the rear, where furze almost exclusively prevailed as a product.

他们从山后面四分之一英里的地方过来，那儿长的几乎全是荆棘，格外茂密。

Those gusts which tore the trees merely waved the furze and heather in a light caress.

这一阵阵摧残树木的狂风，只是轻轻拂动荆棘和石南，荡起一些起伏波浪而已。

The stony escarpment upon which they stood had the contour of a man's face, and it was covered with furze as with a beard.

他们所站的石崖有一个人脸的轮廓，上面长满了金雀花，就像胡须一样。

On the other rose hazel-bushes, a few trees, and where these were absent, furze tufts—as tall as men—on stems nearly as stout as timber.

另一边是玫瑰榛树丛和几棵树， 在没有这些树的地方， 长着一簇簇金雀花——和人一样高——树干上几乎和木材一样粗壮。

He was busily chopping away at the furze, a long row of faggots which stretched downward from his position representing the labour of the day.

他正忙着砍荆棘，一长排荆条从他身边开始延伸，代表那一天的劳动成果。

He was, indeed, walking with a will over the furze, as straight as a line, as if his life depended upon it.

克林确实是怀着一种意志，走过荆棘地，走得像一条线那样直，就好像这是在决定他的生命似的。

Every individual was so involved in furze by his method of carrying the faggots that he appeared like a bush on legs till he had thrown them down.

这种挑担方法让荆柴把整个人都裹了起来，因此，在没有把担子卸下来之前，每个人看上去就像是一丛长了两条腿的灌木。

The site of the fire was now merely a circle of ashes flecked with red embers and sparks, the furze having burnt completely away.

点篝火的地方，荆棘已经烧完了，这时只剩下一圈灰烬，斑斑点点，冒着余火和火星。

The loads were all laid together, and a pyramid of furze thirty feet in circumference now occupied the crown of the tumulus, which was known as Rainbarrow for many miles round.

他们把柴捆放到一起，在古冢顶上堆起一个周围有三十英尺的荆柴尖塔，方圆许多英里内都把这古冢叫做“雨冢”。

Then he sallied forth with his new fellow-labourer and old acquaintance, and selecting a spot where the furze grew thickest he struck the first blow in his adopted calling.

随后，他就同这位新同行、老相识出发，找了一处荆棘最为厚密的地方，砍下他新工作的第一刀。

" Scrape up a few stray locks of furze, and make a blaze, so that we can see who the man is, " said Fairway.

“把零散的荆棘柴禾拢在一堆，点个火，看看这个人是谁？”费尔韦说。

" But we shall take a shorter cut through the furze than you can go with long clothes; so we won't trouble you to wait."

“不过我们想穿过荆棘地抄近路。你穿了长衣服，那儿不好走。所以我们就不麻烦你等我们了。”

" My ankles were all in a fever before, from walking through that prickly furze, and now you must make 'em worse with these vlankers! "

“我刚从带刺的荆棘地过来，脚脖子已经给扎得火辣辣的了，现在你又要让这些火星烫我，叫我难受。”

He saw before him in one of the valleys the gleaming of whetted iron, and advancing, dimly perceived that the shine came from the tool of a man who was cutting furze.

他看见前方一个山谷里有一件磨过的铁器闪闪发亮，朝前走去，他朦朦胧胧看出那闪亮来自一个正在割荆棘的男子手中的工具。

The clear, kingly effulgence that had characterized the majority expressed a heath and furze country like their own, which in one direction extended an unlimited number of miles.

大部分篝火通透明亮，表明那里跟他们这儿一样，也是一片石南和荆棘野地，光朝着一个方向就绵延无数英里。
