巡游的

Every fact which occurs in the bed, on the banks or in the air over it; the fishes, and their spawning and nests, their manners, their food; the shad-flies which fill the air on a certain evening once a year, and which are snapped at by the fishes so ravenously that many of these die of repletion; the conical heaps of small stones on the river-shallows, the huge nests of small fishes, one of which will sometimes overfill a cart; the birds which frequent the stream, heron, duck, sheldrake, loon, osprey; the snake, muskrat, otter, woodchuck and fox, on the banks; the turtle, frog, hyla and cricket, which make the banks vocal, were all known to him, and, as it were, townsmen and fellow creatures; so that he felt an absurdity or violence in any narrative of one of these by itself apart, and still more of its dimensions on an inch-rule, or in the exhibition of its skeleton, or the specimen of a squirrel or a bird in brandy.

河床上的河岸上的每一个变化，以及空气变化；河中的鱼类及产卵期和汇聚处，它们的行为和食物；河鲱蝇在一年的某天夜里充斥了空气被河中的鱼疯狂吞吃，以至于好多鱼暴胀而亡；在河的浅水湾的一些圆锥形石堆，其中有一个有时能装满一手推车，----这些石堆是一些小鱼的巨巢；那些经常巡游河中的水鸟，苍鹭、鸭子、翘鼻麻鸭、潜水鸟、鱼鹰；河岸的蛇、麝鼠、水獭、旱獭和狐狸；还有那使得岸边有了活力的龟、青蛙、雨蛙和蟋蟀----这一切他都熟悉，就像它们是镇子上的人和同类；于是他会感到强烈的荒谬和粗暴在看到任何关于它们的孤零零的描述，以及把它们丰富的内涵压缩在一个方寸的纸上，或展览它们的骨骼，或把一只雀儿和鸟类泡在白兰地酒中保存。

As she looked at Warrington's manly face, and dark, melancholy eyes, she had settled in her mind that he must have been the victim of an unhappy attachment.

每逢看到沃林顿那刚毅的脸，那乌黑、忧郁的眼睛，她便会相信，他一定作过不幸的爱情的受害者。

Maybe they'll disappear into a pothole.

也许他们将在壶穴里消失
