The boys are oblivious to the noise , the sordidness , their father 's suffering .

孩子们对那些噪音、肮脏和他们父母的痛苦浑然不觉。

And without -- the frontier warfare ; the yearning of a boy cast ashore upon a desert of newness and ugliness and sordidness for all that is chastened and old and noble with traditions .

一场没有硝烟的美丑之战；一个被抛掷在陌生、丑陋、卑鄙的荒原上的孩子，对一切纯洁、古老、高尚的传统的渴望。
