玛乔丽·K. 罗琳斯(Marjorie K. Rawlings)
A light breeze stirred from the southwest. The sun came out. The clouds rolled together into great white billowing feather bolsters, and across the east a rainbow arched , so lovely and so various that Jody thought he would burst with looking at it. The earth was pale green, the air itself was all but visible, golden with the rain-washed sunlight, and all the trees and grass and bushes glittered, vanished with the rain-drops.
- stir [stɜː] v. 动,搅动
- arch [ɑːtʃ] v. 使形成弓形
一阵微风从西南方吹过。太阳出来了。云卷滚成一团团枕头的形状,大片大片白白的,像飘动着的羽毛似的,在东边拱起了一道彩虹。虹是那么可爱,那么色彩斑斓,乔迪看得激情澎湃。大地呈淡淡的绿色,空气本身不透明,可视度低,带上了雨后斜阳金灿灿的光芒,所有的树木、草地、灌木丛都闪烁着光芒,和雨珠一起消失隐匿。
