Tess had not known till now what was really meant by that . there are degrees of dampness , and a very little is called being wet through in common talk 被雨淋湿的程度是有差别的，在我们平常的谈话中，被雨淋湿了一点儿，我们也说被淋得透湿。
I had a great high shapeless cap , made of a goat s skin , with a flap hanging down behind , as well to keep the sun from me , as to shoot the rain off from running into my neck ; nothing being so hurtful in these climates , as the rain upon the flesh under the cloaths 我头上戴着一顶山羊皮做的便帽，这帽子做得又高又大，很不像样，后面还垂着一条长长的帽缘，一来是为了遮太阳，二来是为了挡雨，免得雨水流进脖子。在热带，被雨淋湿是最伤身体的。
They were eloquent in their distress ; but they presently discovered that the fire had eaten so far up under the great log it had been built against where it curved upward and separated itself from the ground , that a handbreadth or so of it had escaped wetting ; so they patiently wrought until , with shreds and bark gathered from the under sides of sheltered logs , they coaxed the fire to burn again 不过他们很快发现，原先那堆火已经把他们靠着生火的那根倒在地上的大树干在它弯起离地面有些距离的地方烧得凹进去很深，因此有块巴掌大的地方没有被雨淋湿。于是他们极有耐性地想方设法，从那些有遮掩的树下，寻来些碎叶树皮做火引子，总算又把那堆火救活了。
