There was a whisper of jetpods and it came over his patch of desert, turned in a broad arc toward the ridge.

有喷气式飞机的低语声，它飞过他的那片沙漠，朝着山脊形成一个宽阔的弧线。

They missed the dark stone wall by inches as the car turned in a great arc, soaring over the dark greenhouses, then the vegetable patch, and then out over the black lawns, losing height all the time.

汽车拐了一个大圆弧，擦墙而过，飞过黑暗的温室、菜地，飞到外面黑色的草坪上方，一直在坠落。
