Her thoughts wandered strangely: on a sudden she saw that dead beggar at the foot of the compound wall.

思绪诡异， 忽见院墙脚下那个死乞丐。

For a moment she had a picture before her mind's eye of that beggar with the tousled head in the blue rags through which you saw the emaciated limbs, who had lain dead against the compound wall.

有那么一刻， 她的脑海里浮现出一个乞丐的画面， 那个乞丐头上蓬乱， 穿着蓝色的破衣烂衫， 透过破衣烂衫， 你可以看到瘦骨嶙峋的四肢，他已经死了， 躺在院子的墙上。
