How she quivered under that impalpable caress!
在那种难以捉摸爱抚下, 她是多么颤抖啊!
At first, as already told, she had flirted fancifully with her own image in a pool of water, beckoning the phantom forth, and—as it declined to venture—seeking a passage for herself into its sphere of impalpable earth and unattainable sky.
起初,正如已经说过,她幻想着自己在水池中
象调情, 召唤幻影前来,并且——当它拒绝冒险时——为自己寻找一条进入它不可触摸
大地和高不可攀
天空
通道。
The thirty-two chapters of a novel--if we consider how to read a novel first--are an attempt to make something as formed and controlled as a building: but words are more impalpable than bricks; reading is a longer and more complicated process than seeing.
一部小说三十二章——如果我们首先考虑如何阅读一部小说——是一种尝试去创造出像建筑物一样有
和受控
东西:但文字比砖块更难以触摸;阅读是一个比观看更长、更复杂
过程。
