The bird's-eye perspective before her was not so luxuriantly beautiful, perhaps, as that other one which she knew so well; yet it was more cheering. It lacked the intensely blue atmosphere of the rival vale, and its heavy soils and scents; the new air was clear, bracing, ethereal. The river itself, which nourished the grass and cows of these renowned dairies, flowed not like the streams in Blackmoor. Those were slow, silent, often turbid; flowing over beds of mud into which the incautious wader might sink and vanish unawares. The Froom waters were clear as the pure River of Life shown to the Evangelist, rapid as the shadow of a cloud, with pebbly shallows that prattled to the sky all day long. There the water-flower was the lily; the crowfoot here.
俯瞰呈现在她面前的那片风景，虽然不如她无比熟悉的另一片风景绚烂华美，但它却更能使人欢快振奋。它缺少那个能和它媲美的沟谷所有的强烈的蓝色气氛，缺少它厚实的土壤和浓烈的香气；它的新鲜空气清新、凉爽、灵妙。滋养牧草和这些著名奶牛场里的奶牛的那条河流，也同布莱克莫尔的河流流动得不一样。布莱克莫尔的河流流得缓慢、沉静、常常是浑浊的；它们从积满泥淖的河床上流过去，不明情形而涉水过河的人，稍不注意就会陷进泥淖里。佛卢姆河的流水却是清澈的，就像那位福音教徒看见的那条生命河一样纯净，流得也快，就像一片浮云的阴影，流过铺满卵石的浅滩，还整天对着天空喃喃絮语。那儿水中长的是睡莲，这儿水里长的却是毛茛。

Either the change in the quality of the air from heavy to light, or the sense of being amid new scenes where there were no invidious eyes upon her, sent up her spirits wonderfully. Her hopes mingled with the sunshine in an ideal photosphere which surrounded her as she bounded along against the soft south wind. She heard a pleasant voice in every breeze, and in every bird's note seemed to lurk a joy.
也许是空气的性质从沉闷到轻松的变化，也许是她觉得已经到了没有人用恶意的眼光看待她的新地方，于是她的精神奇妙地振作起来。迎着温柔的南风，她一路跳跃着向前走去，她的希望同阳光融合在一起，似乎幻化成了一道环绕着她的光环。在吹来的阵阵微风中，她听得出快乐的声音，在一声声鸟的啼鸣里，也似乎潜藏着欢愉。

Her face had latterly changed with changing states of mind, continually fluctuating between beauty and ordinariness, according as the thoughts were gay or grave. One day she was pink and flawless; another pale and tragical. When she was pink she was feeling less than when pale; her more perfect beauty accorded with her less elevated mood; her more intense mood with her less perfect beauty. It was her best face physically that was now set against the south wind.
她的面貌，近来随着她的心境的变化而发生了变化，由于她的心绪有时快乐，有时沉郁，因而她的面貌也在美丽和平常之间变幻不定。今天她的脸色红润、完美；明天就转为苍白、凄楚。当她的脸色变得红润时，她就不像脸色苍白时那样一脸的忧愁；她的更加完美的美丽同她的平静的心情显得和谐；她的紧张的心情也同她的不太完美的美丽显得般配。现在她迎向南风的脸，正是在形体上显得最美的脸。
