in splinters

Wenn es fror, wurde das Erdreich in der Minute, die er vom Aufenthaltsraum bis zum Schaufelrad brauchte, hart wie ein Baumstamm, dann hieb und spaltete und scherte Christian die schwarzbraune Masse nur span- und splitterweise ab, unter Leibeskräften, gejagt von der Angst, vom plötzlich andrehenden Rad erfaßt zu werden.
When it was freezing the soil, in the minute it took him to get from the recreation room to the bucket wheel, became as hard as a tree trunk, and then Christian could only hack and split and cut the dark brown mass off in shavings and splinters, working as hard as he could, driven on by the fear of being caught by the wheel as it suddenly started to turn.
