The sunset sky was a vault of rich velvet, fading away into mauve and silver round the edges of the dark mountain amphitheatre; and between us and the ravine below rose up out of the deeps and went up into the heights the straight solitary rock we call Green Finger.

落日下的天空如华贵的天鹅绒穹顶，在环形暗山的边缘渐褪为淡紫与银色；我们和下方峡谷之间，一座名叫“绿指”的孤岩，从深处笔直升向高处。
