有一个打铁的铁匠说：“只有一件事是我们所怕的，就是被神丢到碎铁堆里去。”
"There is only one thing," said a village blacksmith, "that I fear, and that is to be thrown on the scrap heap."
“是的，我身子骨不坏，”他说，“日子难过的时候我是连碎铁也能消化的。”
"Yes, I ain't no invalid," he said. "When it comes down to hard - pan, I can digest scrap-iron."
我把它这样试验至少二三次，如果它经不起锻炼，我就把它甩在碎铁堆里，等到收旧货的来了，我就一分钱一磅卖给他。
When I discover after one or two tests that it is not going to allow itself to be tempered, I throw it on the scrap heap and sell it for a cent a pound when the junk man comes around.
