A few faint stars were gleaming in a violet sky.

在紫色的天空中，闪烁着几颗半明半暗的星星。

He and I seemed to be the only living things between the huge arch of the sky and the desert beneath it.

在广大无边的苍穹和下面荒芜的大地之间，它和我好象就是这里仅有的生物了。

Before us lay the dark bulk of the house, its serrated roof and bristling chimneys hard outlined against the silver-spangled sky.

我们面前就是房屋的黑影，它那锯齿形的屋顶和矗立的烟囱的轮廓，被星光灿烂的天空清晰地衬托了出来。

“我刚刚把家搬到树林里最高的树上， ”鸽子继续说， 把嗓门提高成了尖声嘶叫， “我想已经最后摆脱它们了， 结果它们还非要弯弯曲曲地从天上下来不可。
