1. The water is so transparent that the bottom can easily be discerned at the depth of twenty-five or thirty feet. 水是这样的透明，二十五至三十英尺下面的水底都可以很清楚地看到。 2. Paddling over it, you may see, many feet beneath the surface, the schools of perch and shiners, perhaps only an inch long, yet the former easily distinguished by their transverse bars, and you think that they must be ascetic fish that find a subsistence there. 赤脚踏水时，你看到在水面下许多英尺的地方有成群的鲈鱼和银鱼，大约只一英寸长，连前者的横行的花纹也能看得清清楚楚，你会觉得这种鱼也是不愿意沾染红尘，才到这里来生存的。 3. The shore is composed of a belt of smooth rounded white stones like paving-stones, excepting one or two short sand beaches, and is so steep that in many places a single leap will carry you into water over your head; and were it not for its remarkable transparency, that would be the last to be seen of its bottom till it rose on the opposite side. 湖岸是由一长溜像铺路石那样的光滑的圆圆的白石组成的；除一两处小小的沙滩之外，它陡立着，纵身一跃便可以跳到一个人深的水中；要不是水波明净得出奇，你决不可能看到这个湖的底部，除非是它又在对岸升起。 4. Yet perchance the first who came to this well have left some trace of their footsteps. 5. The ornamented grounds of villas which will one day be built here may still preserve some trace of this. 但愿到了将来，人们在这里建造一些别墅的装饰庭园时，还能保留这一残迹。 preserve v.保护；保存；保持 n.禁猎区；蜜饯 It is highly important to preserve the environment. 保护自然环境至关重要。 ornament
