拙译《杀死一只知更鸟》230210

Jem looked around, reached up, and gingerly pocketed a tiny shiny package. We ran home, and on the front porch we looked at a small box patchworked with bits of tinfoil collected from chewing-gum wrappers. It was the kind of box wedding rings came in, purple velvet with a minute catch. Jem flicked open the tiny catch. Inside were two scrubbed and polished pennies, one on top of the other. Jem examined them. Jem环视四周，抬起手小心翼翼地将一个小巧又闪闪发光的包裹放进兜里。我们跑回家，在走廊前面我们看到一个用少量锡箔纸补过补丁的小盒子，那锡箔纸是从口香糖包装纸收集来的。它这种盒子是用来装结婚戒指那一类的，紫色的丝绒配上一个微小的机关扣件。Jem用手点开了扣件，里面放着两枚擦洗磨光过的一分钱硬币，一枚叠在另一枚上面。然后Jem仔细地检查起它们。
