2022-02-11 Grandmother Achievement Day 【Phases·III (1914)】 Wallace Stevens (1879—1955) This was the salty taste of glory, That it was not Like Agamemnon’s story. Only, an eyeball in the mud, And Hopkins, Flat and pale and gory! —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— • —— 【《阶段》之三(1914年)】 异乡人•史蒂文斯(1879生—1955卒) 【红霞译】 这是荣耀的苦涩味道, 再现的并非 像阿伽门农神话故事。 仅有一只眼球落地, 如同霍普金斯诗中, 沉郁、苍白和血腥! 【注】振铃石是一种敲击时会发出像钟声共鸣的岩石,像英国湖区凸壁山(Skiddaw)音乐石、美国宾州雄鹿县上黑涡村(Upper Black Eddy, PA)的响石、澳大利亚新南威尔士州魔水(Kiandra)响动岩石以及西澳大利亚铃岩山脉(Bell Rock Range),被用作所谓石音器的自鸣乐器,引起科学家极大兴趣;然而到目前为止,始终没人就岩石的振铃功能或巨石场的形成提出可靠的理论和确凿的证据。 宾州东南部和新泽西州中部的巨石场来自新方舟盆地一组辉绿岩岩床,当地壳拉伸使得镁铁质岩浆从上地幔移到已有2亿年(侏罗纪早期)历史的沉积盆地时便形成了岩床,在上地幔中结晶两种矿物:橄榄石和辉石,其斑晶迅速从岩浆中沉降下来并沿着岩床底部聚集,经过完全凝固过程,这个富含晶体的层面自成厚度为10-15英尺/3.0-4.6米岩石单元。直至更新世时期,地壳上升和侵蚀作用使晶体层凸出地面,暴露在外的橄榄辉绿岩并没被冰盖掩埋,因此遭受了严重的冰冻或冰缘作用,冰缘环境最终导致高出地面的岩层变成广阔的巨石场。 Today in History(历史上的今天): 2022: Erwinna, Equal Crow-Fly to NYC—PHL(介于纽约—费城间的宾州海友村) 2022: Nockamixon Cliffs, PA(宾州软土地悬崖) 2022: President's Choice—Upper Black Eddy, PA(总统热衷的上黑涡村) 2018: GreatExpectations─CharacterExpectation(《远大前程》性格塑造) 2015: Argumentative─Homework(议论文─论家庭作业) Ringing Rocks Park (响石公园 02-11-2022) Lithophonic Roccks (石音岩石) Sonorous Boulder Field (巨石场 02-11-2022) These boulder fields in southeastern Pennsylvania and central New Jersey formed from a group of diabase sills in the Newark Basin. The sills were formed when stretching of the Earth's crust allowed mafic magma to travel up from the upper mantle inject into the sedimentary basin 200 million years ago (early Jurassic Period). Phenocrysts of two minerals that had crystallized in the upper mantle, olivine, and pyroxene, quickly settled out of the magma and collected along the base of the sills. When fully solidified, this crystal-rich layer formed a separate rock unit 10-15 ft (3.0-4.6 m) thick. By the Pleistocene Epoch, the sills had been exposed to the surface by crustal uplift and erosion. During the Pleistocene, outcrops of the olivine diabase were not buried by the glacial sheets; however, they were subjected to severe freezing, or periglacial, conditions. The periglacial environment caused the outcrops to be broken into extensive boulder fields. (响石场·【注解】见上) Bucks County's Largest Waterfall (雄鹿郡最大的瀑布)
