3.When the Abscissor, cutter of life, or killing Planet is on the Ecliptic, and an Infortune in an Angle, the Native will die a violent death. 当命盘中的夺命星位于黄道,且凶星落在盘中四角之一位置时,盘主为暴死之命。
The ecliptic had inclined itself beyond recovery till life was as thin as the elm trees.
黄道已经倾斜到无法恢复, 直到生命像榆树一样稀薄。

From Earth, we see them sticking near the ecliptic, the line across the sky that marks the annual path of the Sun.
从地球上看,我们看到它们就贴在黄道附近,这条横跨天空的线标志着每年太阳的运行轨迹。

Nowhere had the new forces so vigorously corrected the errors of the old, or so effectively redressed the balance of the ecliptic.
新力量从未如此有力地纠正旧力量的错误,或者如此有效地纠正了黄道的平衡。

Her eyes were attracted by the brightness of the planet Jupiter, as he rode in the ecliptic opposite, beaming down upon her as if desirous of notice.
她的眼睛被木星的亮度所吸引,因为他骑在黄道对面,对着她微笑,好像渴望引起注意。

One of these errors was the inclination of the ecliptic; the other was the differentiation of the sexes, and the saddest thought about the last was that it should have been so modern.
The ecliptic is the apparent path of the Sun on the celestial sphere, and is the basis for the ecliptic coordinate system. It also refers to the plane of this path, which is coplanar with the orbit of Earth around the Sun (and hence the apparent orbit of the Sun around Earth).
The path of the Sun is not normally noticeable from Earth's surface because Earth rotates, carrying the observer through the cycles of sunrise and sunset, obscuring the apparent motion of the Sun with respect to the stars.
the great circle representing the apparent annual path of the sun; the plane of the Earth's orbit around the sun; makes an angle of about 23 degrees with the equator
all of the planets rotate the sun in approximately the same ecliptic
