【Phases·II (1914)】 Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) There’s a little square in Paris, Waiting until we pass. They sit idly there, They sip the glass.
There’s a cab-horse at the corner, There's rain. The season grieves. It was silver once, And green with leaves.
There’s a parrot in a window, Will see us on parade, Hear the loud drums roll— And serenade. —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《阶段》之二(1914年)】 异乡人•史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒) 【红霞译】 巴黎有个小广场， 正迎候我们到来。 当地人闲坐不动， 咂摸着喝的东西。
街角有匹驮马， 时逢雨水洗礼；经历季节苍凉。 曾几何银鬃快乐飞扬, 遍地绿叶葱翠。
窗内有只鹦鹉， 终会看到我们游行， 听见鼓声喧动—— 以及小夜曲悠扬。 【注】位于宾州上黑涡村(Upper Black Eddy, PA)的软土地悬崖与地面几近垂直，是好斗者河沿岸极为壮丽的地貌景观，由棕村岩层(三叠纪)异常坚硬的页岩、粉砂岩和砂岩组成。大约2.5亿年前三叠纪期间，随着非洲与北美洲板块分离，溪流将沉积物倾倒在伸展的沉积盆地之中，粗粒沉积物长期在盆地边缘堆积，携带鹅卵石和沙子的河流形成冲积扇，细粒沉积物沉积在湖泊中。

(软土地悬崖下好斗者运河牵引路)  The nearly vertical Nockamixon cliffs are a spectacular geologic site along the Delaware River. The cliffs are composed of unusually hard shale, siltstone, and sandstone of the Brunswick Formation (Triassic age). As Africa separated from North America about 250 million years ago, streams dumped sediment into a stretched depositional basin during the Triassic Period. Coarse-grained sediments accumulated along the basin edges. Rivers laden with pebbles and sand built alluvial fans. Finer-grained sediments settled in lakes. (软土地悬崖·【注解】见上)

 Since facing north, the cliffs receive little direct sunlight & are a habitat for an arctic-alpine plant rarely found this far south of Maine.
(由于悬崖朝北，几乎没有阳光直射，堪称北极高山植物的栖息地，很少出现在缅因州以南地区)
The cliffs were formed eons ago when molten magma from the earth’s crust transformed sandstone & shale into harder rock. (亿万年前，当地壳中的熔融岩浆将砂岩和页岩转化为更硬的岩石时便形成悬崖。)  Upper Black Eddy—Milford Bridge over R. Delaware
