I heard you talking to that shopgirl on the phone.

我听你和店员的电话了。

An American shopgirl, laundering two changes of underwear every night, would have noticed a hint of yesterday's reawakened sweat about Kaethe's person, less a smell than an ammoniacal reminder of the eternity of toil and decay.

一个每晚洗两的美国店员会凯瑟身上昨日苏醒的一丝汗水，与其说是一种气味，不如说是一种氨味的提醒，让人想起永恒的劳作和腐朽。
