They met in the little ditch encircling the tumulus—the original excavation from which it had been thrown up by the ancient British people.

他们俩在环绕雨冢的小沟渠里相会，这条沟渠是古代不列颠人垒土造墓时挖出来的。

With her dropping out of sight on the right side, a newcomer, bearing a burden, protruded into the sky on the left side, ascended the tumulus, and deposited the burden on the top.

她刚从古冢右边消失不见，左边就出现一个肩上挑了东西的人影，映衬在天空里，他走上古冢，把东西卸到家顶。

The loads were all laid together, and a pyramid of furze thirty feet in circumference now occupied the crown of the tumulus, which was known as Rainbarrow for many miles round.

他们把柴捆放到一起，在古冢顶上堆起一个周围有三十英尺的荆柴尖塔，方圆许多英里内都把这古冢叫做“雨冢”。

Anyone who had stood by now would have pitied her, not so much on account of her exposure to weather, and isolation from all of humanity except the mouldered remains inside the tumulus.

现在无论是谁站到她身旁，都会可怜她，倒不仅是因为她正受到风吹雨淋的侵蚀，并且除了与雨冢里的枯骨为伴，她已遭到了世人的遗弃。

But the boundary of all was a great wall of mountain, vast in the west, and ending like a fortress with a steep ascent and a domed tumulus clear against the sky.

但一切的边界是一堵巨大的山墙，西部广阔，尽头像一座堡垒，陡峭的坡度和穹顶的古墓映衬着天空。

From a distance there simply appeared to be a motionless figure standing on the top of the tumulus, just as Eustacia had stood on that lonely summit some two years and a half before.

从远处望去，一个人影一动不动出现在雨冢顶上，就像两年半前游苔莎孤零零地站在那儿一样。
