I touched the heath, it was dry, and yet warm with the beat of the summer day.
我碰了碰欧石南，只觉得它很干燥，还带着夏日热力的微温。
I looked at the sky; it was pure: a kindly star twinkled just above the chasm ridge.

The dew fell, but with propitious softness; no breeze whispered.

Nature seemed to me benign and good; I thought she loved me, outcast as I was;

and I, who from man could anticipate only mistrust, rejection, insult, clung to her with filial fondness.

I had one morsel of bread yet:
我还有一口吃剩的面包，
the remnant of a roll I had bought in a town we passed through at noon with a stray penny -- my last coin.
那面包是我用一便士零钱，我最后的一枚硬币，从下午路过的小镇买来的。
I saw ripe bilberries gleaming here and there, like jet beads in the heath:
我看到了成熟的越桔--像欧石南丛中的煤玉那样，随处闪着光。
I gathered a handful and ate them with the bread.
我采集了一大把，和着面包吃。
