LESSON 103 THE INFLUENCES OF THE SUN
第一百零三课 日光的影响
As surely as the force which moves a clock's hands is derived from the arm which winds up the clock,
同移动钟表的手力来自于上紧发条的胳膊一样，
so surely is all terrestrial power drawn from the sun.
所有陆地上的动力皆源于日光。
Leaving out of account the eruptions of volcanoes, and the ebb and flow of the tides,
不考虑火山喷发、潮水落潮和流动的话，
every mechanical action on the earth's surface, every manifestation of power,
地球表面的每一种机械运动，动力的每一种表现形式，
organic and inorganic, vital and physical, is produced by the sun.
不论有机体的还是无机体的，不论生物体的还是身体上的，都产生自日光。
His warmth keeps the sea liquid, and the atmosphere a gas,
日光的温暖能使海水保持液态，大气层保持气态，
and all the storms which agitate both are blown by the mechanical force of the sun.
将海洋和大气层搅得天翻地覆的暴风雨，是由太阳的机械力吹动的。
He lifts the rivers and the glaciers up to the mountains;
他能将河水和冰川“举到”高山上；
and thus the cataract and the avalanche shoot with an energy derived immediately from him.
因此，大瀑布和大雪崩的能量直接源于日光。
