| 词汇 | soddy |
| 词源 | soddy. A prairie sodhouse of farmers or sodbusters. Wrote Lucia St. Clair Robson in Ride the Wind (1982): “The [col- lapsed] soddy had been dug into a hillside . . . The other three sides were made of large sod bricks laid in double rows. Grass and flowers grew thickly on the partially caved-in roof . . . The canvas door still hung askew from the broken cottonwood pole that served as a lintel. With charcoal someone had written on the stained, grey canvas: 250 miles to post office. 100 miles to wood. 20 miles to water. 6 inches to hell.” |
