Out of the smudgy little window you could see an immense expanse of sad-looking sky, and whenever there were clouds they looked very worn, old clouds, frayed at the edges, with holes in them, or dark stains like tea.

从脏兮兮的小窗外，你可以看到一望无际的阴沉天空，每当有云的时候，它们看起来都非常破旧，老云，边缘磨损，有洞，或者像茶一样的深色污渍。

Here is a man with an English coat frayed at the elbow and trousers bagged at the knee with a year's wear, and yet by this document and by his own account he is a provincial American lately landed in London.

他的英国外套在肘部磨损了， 裤子在膝盖处鼓包了一年， 但根据这份文件和他自己的说法， 他是一个新近登陆的外省美国人在伦敦。
