There's a gravel path that crunches under my feet and twists and turns through crowded plant beds.

一条砾石铺成的小路的脚下发出嘎吱的响声，这条小路蜿蜒地穿过拥挤的植床。

I sought the Continent, and went devious through all its lands.

I stepped from one word to the next like a very old man finding his way across a stream on a zigzag line of wet stones.

All the valley at my right hand was full of pasture-fields, and cornfields, and wood; and a glittering stream ran zig-zag through the varied shades of green, the mellowing grain, the sombre woodland, the clear and sunny lea.

右手边的整个山谷都是牧场、玉米地和树林；一条闪闪发光的小溪蜿蜒地流过深浅不一的绿色、成熟的谷物、阴暗的林地、清澈而阳光明媚的土地。
