I thought I would pick my way round this.

我想我会绕过这个。

Descending the divide in a hesitating mood, I picked my way across the yawning chasm at the foot, and climbed out upon the glacier.

怀着犹豫的心情走下分水岭，我小心翼翼地穿过脚下张开的裂口，爬上冰川。

I picked my way through the dwindling crowd, the lame beggars dressed in layers of tattered rags, the vendors with rugs on their shoulders, the cloth merchants and butchers closing shop for the day. I found no sign of Hassan.

我在零落的人群中寻路前进，步履维艰的乞丐身上披着一层又一层的破布，小贩肩上扛着毛毯，布料商人和出售生鲜的屠夫则在关上铺门。我找不到哈桑的踪迹。

Cautiously picking my way, I gained the top of the moraine and was delighted to see a small but well characterized glacier swooping down from the gloomy precipices of Black Mountain in a finely graduated curve to the moraine on which I stood.

小心翼翼地走着，我到达了冰碛的顶部，很高兴看到一个小但特征鲜明的冰川从黑山阴暗的悬崖上俯冲而下，呈精细渐变的曲线，直达我所站的冰碛。
