人们慢慢地，一言不发地从口袋里掏出一个铜钱，扔到篮子里。

Not saying a word, each slowly took a coin out of his pocket and dropped it into a basket.

他卖油条，把一双手弄得油乎乎的，用手数铜钱，把铜钱也弄得油乎乎的。

He sells the twisted dough-strips, making a hands oil of, by hand few copper money, makes the copper money too oil of.

一个铜钱拍不响。

It takes two to make a quarrel.
