   • 1891, Thomas Hardy, 章号 XXXI, 出自 Tess of the d'Urbervilles:

     He sat on by the cheerful firelight thrown from a bundle of green ash-sticks laid across the dogs; the sticks snapped pleasantly, and hissed out bubbles of sap from their ends.

     他坐在壁炉的旁边，在壁炉里薪架上，燃烧着一堆绿色的桦树枝，上面闪耀着欢乐的火苗；树枝烧得劈劈啪啪地直响，树枝的端头烧得冒出了白沫。
