It was April and the last snow of the season had come and gone.

那是在4月，这个季节的最后一场雪来了又去。

The air was growing warmer already and Pa said that the snow wouldn't last long.

空气已经越来越暖和了，爸爸说雪下不了多久。

It was dark, damp and warm, and that white mist which in the spring thaws the last snow, filled the air.

天黑、潮湿、温暖， 空气中弥漫着春天融化最后一场雪的白雾。

The small tributaries that do not reach back to the lasting snow fountains of the summit peaks shrink to whispering, tinkling currents.

无法回到山顶的持久积雪喷泉的小支流收缩成窃窃私语、叮当作响的水流。

Small patches of lasting snow and ice occur on its northern slopes, but they are shallow, and present no well marked evidence of glacial motion.

它的北坡上出现了小块持久的冰雪， 但它们很浅， 没有明显的冰川运动迹象。
