午后

The rocks of the Spy-glass re-echoed it a score of times; the whole troop of marsh-birds rose again, darkening heaven, with a simultaneous whirr; and long after that death yell was still ringing in my brain, silence had re-established its empire, and only the rustle of the redescending birds and the boom of the distant surges disturbed the languor of the afternoon.

过后很久，这临死前的呼号还在我的脑海中回响，虽然周围又复归寂静，只有归鸟人塘的扑翼声和远处的涛声打破着午后的沉寂。

它随薄雾之清晨悄然而来，又在煦暖之午后消失无踪；它蹑手蹑脚，掠过树梢，抹红叶子，然后，乘一簇毛蓟越过山谷而去。

The afternoon breeze drummed gently at the khreirna, and Ruha heard feet scuffling outside.

In the heat of the late afternoon, they shinnied the hillside.

A sliver of afternoon sun still smoldered above the battlements behind him, and the shadows of the pennants of the Western Wall flopped like dark fish on the grass.

On a sweltering summer Sunday afternoon last month, I went to Beijing's Houhai lake to see a vision of talent cultivation a world away from official trawls of rural schools.
