Three minutes later the old man and his sons, well armed, were up the hill, and just entering the sumach path on tiptoe , their weapons in their hands.
三分钟后,老人和他的儿子带好武器上了山。他们手里拿着武器,踮着脚进入了绿树成荫的那条小路。
The sumach is stripped of everything but its cone of red berries.
漆树全被剥光了,只剩下红色的浆果。
It is now filled with the smooth sumach (Rhus glabra), and one of the earliest species of goldenrod (Solidago stricta) grows there luxuriantly.
现在那里满是平滑的黄栌树(学名rhusglabra),还有很原始的一种黄色紫苑(学名solidagostricta),也在那里很茂郁地生长着。
The spanish oaks were hung with patches of wine red, the sumach was brilliant in the darkening underbrush.
西班牙栎树显出斑驳的葡萄酒红色,漆树在逐渐暗淡下去的矮树丛中闪闪发亮。
His gratitude was measureless. Now he turned in his tracks, between the walls of sumach bushes—turned himself as carefully as if he were a ship—and then stepped quickly but cautiously along.
他感到谢天谢地,现在他退回到两堵墻似的绿树之间的小道上,转身时非常小心,好像是一艘船在调头——然后步伐敏捷而又谨慎地往回走去。
But they never stopped at the quarry. They passed on, up the summit. They plunged into the narrow path between the tall sumach bushes, and were at once hidden in the gloom.
可那两个人却经过老石坑,爬上了山顶他们一头鉆进了茂密的漆树之间的一条小路,一下子就消失在黑暗中。
