There still reverberated in her mind the crashes of the two impregnable citadels of her life, thundering to dust about her ears.

她生活中两个坚不可破的堡垒崩溃的声音仍在她心中回响，好像在她耳旁轰隆一声坍塌了。

Her short, black locks tumbled about her ears, and she sat still.

她的黑色短发垂在耳朵上，她静静地坐着。

Her hat, snatched off, was clutched tightly in her hand, and her short curled hair bobbed up and down about her ears.

被夺下的帽子紧紧攥在手里， 短卷发在耳边上下摆动。

Lying on cushions, as if she really were ill, shebraided her long hair and rolled it about her ears as death had told her it should be on her bier.

躺在垫子上， 好像她真的病了一样，她把长发编成辫子， 把它卷在耳朵上， 就像死亡告诉她的那样， 它应该放在她的棺材上。

Emma McChesney stood before the mirror, the cruel little hat perched atop her hair, ready to give it the final and critical bash which should bring it down about her ears where it belonged.

Emma McChesney 站在镜子前，那顶残忍的小帽子戴在她的头发上，准备给它最后的、关键的一击，让它在她本该戴的耳朵周围掉下来。
