The classic vision of the heavens is that of an immense vault, which is beautiful because it stands for order and perfection.

经典空视觉是一个巨大穹窿， 因为它代表着秩序和完善而更显美丽。

The sky looks solid, like a vault of steel set with diamonds!

空一眼望去是那么地坚固，如同一片镶着钻石钢质穹窿！

While exchanging this chitchat, we entered beneath the dark canopies of the forest, and for two hours we explored it in every direction.

当我们彼此说笑话，交换一些意见时，我们穿人了森林阴沉穹窿下，只有两小时功夫，我们四面八方都走遍了。

Slanting inward over their base, these high walls converged to form a vault shaped like an immense upside-down funnel that measured 500 or 600 meters in height.

周围高墙，下部倾斜，上面是穹窿圆顶，形状很像倒过来漏斗，高度为为五百至六百米。

I distinguished the unpredictably contoured springings of a vault, supported by natural pillars firmly based on a granite foundation, like the weighty columns of Tuscan architecture.

我那些由然石柱支架起来、穹窿很宽大形成轮廓起拱石，这些石柱宽大底座安在花岗岩石基上，像托斯甘式建筑笨重石柱那样。

And there, unpent by mountains, one saw the sky, the sky not such a disk as one saw it here, but an arch of immeasurable blue, a deep of deeps in which the circling stars were floating.

在那里，没有山峦阻隔， 人们得以一览无垠空，那不是如这里所见一个圆盘般空，而是一道无边无际蓝色拱顶， 一个深邃至极穹窿， 其中环绕星辰仿佛在漂浮。
