(10)“遇见沙漠,遇见山峡都是浩浩荡荡的往前流过去,以成其浊流滚滚,一泻万里的魄势”
译为negotiate deserts and gorges until their turbid torrents surge forward with irresistible force, 其中动词to negotiate 的意思是“顺利通过”(to succeed in getting past something difficult)。又,注意until在这里的用法。它在此不作“直到……为止”解,而是so that finally(“以至于……”或“最后”)的意思。
(11)“要知”译为mind you,插入句中。成语mind you的意思是mind what I say 或however,
相当于汉语的“请注意”或“说真的”。
