     The Mole had been working very hard all the morning, spring-cleaning his little home. First with brooms, then with dusters; then on ladders and steps and chairs, with a brush and a pail of whitewash; till he had dust in his throat and eyes, and splashes of white-wash all over his black fur, and an aching back and weary arms.

     整個早上，鼴鼠都在忙活著，給他的小窩做大掃除。他先是拿掃帚，接著用撣子；然後站上梯子、臺階和椅子，手裡拿著刷子和一桶石灰水；到最後，他的嘴裡眼裡都進了灰塵，黑色的毛髮上沾滿了白灰，腰酸背痛，手軟腳麻。

2. (引申) 系統性的清理、重組
