If any of the old hand-hewn cypress shingles are loose in the lichened roof, this is when they go.

如果藓的屋顶上有任何旧的手工凿成的柏树瓦片松动， 这就是们消失的时候。

Some are colored like the sky, bright as bluebirds, others gray like the lichened rocks on which they hunt and bask.

有些颜色像天空，像蓝鸟一样明亮，有些像们捕猎和晒太阳的藓的岩石一样灰色。

The main knotty trunk seems to be made up of craggy granite boulders like those on which it stands, being about the same color as the mossy, lichened boulders and about as rough.

多节的主树干似乎是由崎岖不平的花岗岩巨石组成的，就像所的那些巨石一样，颜色与藓的藓的巨石大致相同，而且也同样粗糙。

For when the soft sluiceways of the skies opened and the lichened shingle roof shed the waters in a surge down the northwest sheltered corner of the house, I could strip and accept the benediction.

因为当天空柔软的水闸打开， 藓的瓦屋顶从房子的西北角倾泻而下时， 我可以脱下衣服接受祝福。
