At the bottom of the slope were cliffs: beyond these, a country of high mountains, dark precipices, stony valleys, ravines so deep and narrow that one could not see far into them, and rivers that poured out of echoing gorges to plunge sullenly into black depths.
山坡底下就是懸崖，只見那邊高山重疊，茫茫一片，黑沈沈的峭壁，亂石叢生的山谷，幽谷又深又狹，看不見底。幾條河從回聲隆隆的峽谷裏傾瀉而出，沖入漆黑的深淵。
