Suddenly the waters around them slowly swelled in broad circles; then quickly upheaved, as if sideways sliding from a submerged berg of ice, swiftly rising to the surface.

突然，周围的水面慢慢涌大圆圈来，随后，快速地隆，佛座水下的冰山从旁冒了出来，迅速升上水面。

For a minute or two the shocks became more and more violent — flashing horizontal thrusts mixed with a few twists and battering, explosive, upheaving jolts, — as if Nature were wrecking her Yosemite temple, and getting ready to build a still better one.

两分钟后，震动变得越来越猛烈——闪烁的水平推力夹杂着些扭曲和撞击，爆炸性的、剧烈的——佛大自然正在摧毁她的优胜美地神庙，并准备建造个更好的神庙。

The whole river was like a boiling cauldron, with masses of ice upheaved as by a volcano.

整条河就像个沸腾的大锅， 大块的冰块像火山样隆。
