Her black dress made her look yellower than ever, and her limp light hair straggled from under her black crepe hat.

她的黑色连衣裙使她看起来比以往任何时候都黄，黑色绉纱帽子下柔软的浅色头发散乱。

And the black crepe veil on her bonnet had to reach to her knees, and only after three years of widowhood could it be shortened to shoulder length.

而她帽子上缀着的那幅黑纱必须到垂到膝盖，要到守寡满三年之后才能缩短到肩头的部位。

The next day, when the boy went to school, he noticed numbers of boys and men in the streets wearing black crepe on their arm.

第二天，当男孩去上学时，他注意到街上有许多男孩和男人手臂上戴着黑色绉纱。
