地上每一根折断的树枝,每一根弯曲的草叶,都在告诉托宾,土匪们往哪里去了。

As a fact, my good master's nose, formerly big and red, was nothing now but a bent blade, livid like lead.
事实上,我好主人的鼻子,从前又大又红,现在只不过是弯曲的刀片,像铅一样铁青。

Blade
A blade is the portion of a tool, weapon, or machine with an edge that is designed to cut and/or puncture, stab, slash, chop, slice, thrust, or scrape surfaces or materials. A blade may be made from a flaking stone, such as flint, metal (usually steel), ceramic, or other material. Blades are one of humanity's oldest tools, and continue to be used for combat, food preparation, and other purposes.
