Truth, though old, truth, truth feeds up in the high country, as elusive, as serenity, yet as certain as the north star and the southern cross.

真理，虽，却在高山上萌发，它像宁静一样难以捉摸，但却像北极星和南十字星一样确定。

The wonderful Southern Cross, polar star of the Antarctic regions, twinkled at its zenith.

天空顶点有那辉煌南宿，那是南冰洋地区极星。

On the verandah the air was scented with the heavy perfume of the tiare, and overhead the Southern Cross shone in a cloudless sky.

露台上，空气里弥漫着蒂阿瑞花香气，头顶上，南十字座星在万里无云天空上闪烁发光。

Dr.Macphail lit his pipe and, leaning over the rail, searched the heavens for the Southern Cross.

麦克费尔博士点燃烟斗，俯身在栏杆上，在天空中寻找南十字星座。
