" A bit of white rag—one of my shirts you'd cut half across" .

“一块白布——我的一件衬衫，你把它剪了一半”。

The clean white rags are next put with water into another machine, which pulls the fibres apart, tears them into small pieces, and beats them into a soft white paste or pulp.

接下来, 干净的白色破布与水一起放到另一台机器中, 它可以将纤维撕成碎片, 搅拌成柔软的白色纸浆。
