1. She was given a pauper's funeral and buried in an unmarked grave in the local churchyard.
又以安葬贫民的规矩，把她埋在了当地的公墓里，连块墓碑也没立。
- pauper (n.) 1510s, "person destitute of property or means of livelihood," from Latin pauper "poor, not wealthy, of small means" (see poor (adj.)). Originally in English a legal word, from Latin phrase in forma pauperis (late 15c.) "in the character of a poor person," thus allowed to sue in court without legal fees.
