Sometimes the low-lying land was dry for a great distance, specked with soapberry bushes, and the wild cattle cropped a short grass that grew there.

有时，低洼地有很远的地方是干涸的，点缀着无患子灌木丛，野牛从那里长出一小片矮草。

It seemed as if the whole fortune or failure of her shop might depend on the display of a different set of articles, or substituting a fairer apple for one which appeared to be specked.

似乎她店铺的全部兴衰可能取决于陈列的一组不同的品，或者用一个更漂亮的苹代替一个看起来有斑点的苹。

The midday sun was streaming into Hetty's bedchamber, and there was no blind to temper the heat with which it fell on her head as she looked at herself in the old specked glass.

正午的阳光照进海蒂的卧室，她透过旧的斑点玻璃看着自己时，没有百叶窗可以缓和落在她头上的热量。

And yet, even in her most self-conscious moments, the face was sadly different from that which had smiled at itself in the old specked glass, or smiled at others when they glanced at it admiringly.

然而，即使在她最难为情的时刻，这张脸也与在旧有斑点的玻璃窗前对自己微笑，或者别人用羡慕的眼光看着它时对自己微笑的脸很不一样。
