帕特·戴弗是位习惯于漂泊寄宿他乡的修锅匠。他曾经与乞丐同被睡在黑暗脏乱的小屋里,蜷缩在伊尼什欧文荒芜的群山中私酿威士忌的酒厂旁。他甚至睡在石楠花丛中或者小沟里,以地为床,以天为被,但所有的这些与那一夜的经历比起来都显得平淡无奇。 Pat Dave was a pot maker accustomed to wandering hometown. He was sleeping with his beggar in a dark mess, huddled by a brewery of whiskey in the barren hills of Inish Irving. He even slept in heather or in a small ditch, with bed in bed and heaven as bed, but all of them were plain compared to that night’s experience.
