A dozen times she tiptoed to the door to listen for noises downstairs but the hall below lay like a black silent pit.

一连十来次她踮着脚尖到门口去听楼下有没有声响，可下面门厅里又黑又静，像个煤坑似的。

It seemed to yawn beneath him like a black pit as he descended.

当他下降时，它似乎在他身下打哈欠，就像一个黑色的坑。

The figure in front of him turned into the moon's path and he saw an elfin face, black pits of eyes.

眼前的人影化为月轨，他看到了一张精灵般的脸庞，黑色的眼窝。

Look upon these men that walk in the light and are clad in silk and in gold: for their sake was I laid in the black pit.

看看这些行走在光明中、穿着丝绸和黄金的人：为了他们的缘故，我被埋在了黑坑里。

As he passed he looked down, smiling, at the black pit and the withering grass beside it; and drew a long breath, to smell the scent of the freshly turned earth.

当他经过时，他微笑着低头看着黑色的坑和旁边枯萎的草。长长地吸了一口气，闻到新翻土的气味。
