Are They Worn Out?

No, growled^{1 the quartermaster, you can't have a new pair of shoes. The pair you have aren't worn out.}

Not worn out, cried the recruit, Why, if I step on a dime^{2 I can feel if it's head or tails.}

还没有穿破？

不可以，军需官大声说：你不可以领一双新鞋子，你穿着的那双还没穿破。

没穿破，新兵叫道：为何？假如我踩到一个一角硬币，我可以了解踩着的那面是公还是字。
