Lyell and Hooker came up with the compromise solution of presenting a summary of Darwin's and Wallace's ideas together.

莱尔和胡克找到了一种两全其美的方法。

The McClure Glacier, once a tributary of the Lyell, is smaller.

曾经是莱尔河支流的麦克卢尔冰川较小。

The names I have given them are, beginning with the northern-most, Yosemite Creek, Hoffman, Tenaya, South Lyell, and Illilouette Glaciers.

我给它们起的名字是， 从最北端开始， 优胜美地溪、霍夫曼、特纳亚、南莱尔和伊利卢埃特冰川。

Limbs perfectly tireless until near sundown, when I descended into the main upper Tuolumne valley at the foot of Mount Lyell, the camp still eight or ten miles distant.

四肢完全不知疲倦，直到接近日落时，我才下到莱尔山脚下的图奥勒米上游主要山谷，距离营地还有八到十英里。

Tracing the river, we find that it forks a mile above the Soda Springs, the main fork turning southward to Mount Lyell, the other eastward to Mount Dana and Mount Gibbs.

沿着这条河， 我们发现它在 Soda Springs 上方一英里处分叉， 主分叉向南转向莱尔山， 另一个向东转向达纳山和吉布斯山。

The upper end of the series lies at the base of Mount Lyell, the lower below the east end of the Hoffman Range, so the length must be about ten or twelve miles.

该系列的上端位于莱尔山脚下，下端位于霍夫曼山脉东端下方，因此长度大约为 10 或 12 英里。

In regard to mammiferous remains, a glance at the historical table published in Lyell's Manual, will bring home the truth, how accidental and rare is their preservation, far better than pages of detail.

关于哺乳动物遗骸， 只要看一眼《 莱尔手册》 中发表的历史表，就会明白真相， 它们的保存是多么偶然和罕见， 远比一页页的细节要好。

Lyell's genial uniformity seemed genial still, for nothing had taken its place, though, in the interval, granite had grown young, nothing had been explained, and a bewildering system of huge overthrusts had upset geological mechanics.

莱尔和蔼可亲的统一性似乎仍然和蔼可亲，因为没有任何东西取代它，尽管在此期间，花岗岩变得年轻，没有任何解释，一个令人困惑的巨大逆冲断层系统扰乱了地质力学。
