Thrusting out his hand, Gilbert felt the rough bark of a tree.

他费力向外伸出手，摸到了粗糙的树干。

I pass my hands lovingly about the smooth skin of a silver birch, or the rough bark of a pine.

我的手爱抚着白桦树光滑的树皮，或是松树粗糙的树干。

I who cannot see find hundreds of things: the delicate symmetry of a leaf, the smooth skin of a silver birch, the rough, shaggy bark of a pine.

精美对称的叶子、银色白桦的光滑树皮、松树粗糙的树皮。

And in a moment she grew sick with fear, for a change came into the tree, and the tremulousness of life was in it; the rough bark was changed into brutish flesh and the twisted branches into human arms.

片刻之间，她害怕得要吐了，因为树发生了变化，生命的颤抖在其中；粗糙的树皮变成了野蛮的肉，扭曲的树枝变成了人类的手臂。
