But I was out of luck. The car went through the hedge like a knife through butter, and immediately began to fall.

然而非常不走运。汽车穿过篱墙，一切黄油般爽利，然后马上向下跌落。

Hard to imagine her legs once strong, the bones hard and parting water, clean sharp strokes, not bent and wrinkled like a baby, not drowning under the sticky yellow light.

很难想像她的腿曾经强健。坚韧的骨，劈波分浪，动作干净爽利，没有像婴儿的腿那样蜷曲皱缩，也没有淹滞在黏浊的黄光灯下。

The car went through the hedge like a knife through butter，and immediately began to fall. I jumped out and was caught by the branch of a tree，while the car disappeared into a river fifteen metres below.

在荒原上飞机转眼就会看到。快驶向另一个峡谷，然后奔树林而去。猛然间，从岔路上一辆汽车窜到面前。停车已来不及了。唯一可能的是驶离道路，冲入篱墙，希望能撞在后面什么软东西上。然而非常不走运。汽车穿过篱墙，一切黄油般爽利，然后马上向下跌落。跳了出来，被挂在一个树枝上，而汽车消失在下面十五米的河中。
