　　The clouds now rolled in volumes over the mountain tops; their summits still bright and snowy, but the lower parts of an inky blackness. 云层翻卷滚过道道山峦，峰顶明晃晃地刺眼，峰峦下端黢黑模糊连成一片。

　　The rain began to patter down in broad and scattered 1 drops; the wind freshened, and curled up the waves; 雨滴噼里啪啦地落下，溅起大朵水珠，风，愈发清新，腾起高耸连天的浪花，
　　at length, it seemed as if the bellying 2 clouds were torn open by the mountain tops, and complete torrents 3 of rain came rattling 4 down. 然后，不断隆升的云层仿佛被山尖猛地撕开，暴雨哗哗如注，搅动漫天倾盆。
　　The lightning leaped from cloud to cloud, and streamed quivering against the rocks, splitting and rending 5 the stoutest 6 forest trees. 闪电从一朵云旋即跳到另一朵云上，它们锐利的触角颤抖着撞向四处岩壁，猛力撕扯劈开那些粗硕高大的树木。
　　The thunder burst in tremendous explosions; the peals 7 were echoed from mountain to mountain; 震耳欲聋的雷声不时炸开，悬崖绝壁上的訇声雷裂渐次放大，在峰回水转中迸发一串串巨响。
　　they crashed upon Dunderberg, and then rolled up the long defile 8 of the Highlands, 轰鸣滚滚，扑打“邓德伯格号”船舷，然后越过半空苏格兰高地的狭长山谷，
　　each headland making a new echo, until old Bull Hill seemed to bellow 9 back the storm. 每逢凸崖，势必炸开新一轮力拔千钧，直到老牛山不停地哞哞吼叫，将暴风骤雨发狂地撵开。
　　For a time the scudding 10 rack and mist and the sheeted rain almost hid the landscape from the sight. 黑云催天压地，碎云疾驰穿梭，片状雨滴如泄似注从天而下，天地间几乎看不见手掌，周围一片可怕的混沌阴暗。
　　There was a fearful gloom, illumined still more fearfully by the streams of lightning which glittered among the raindrops. 刹那间，接二连三的闪电穿过雨点，迸出一道道刺目光亮，那么瘆人惨白、狰狞可怖。
　　Never had Dolph beheld 11 such an absolute warring of the elements; 道尔夫从未目睹过如此怪异纷呈的天象，
　　it seemed as if the storm was tearing and rending its way through the mountain defile, and had brought all the artillery 12 of heaven into action. 似乎暴风骤雨慌不择路，欲冲破山涧中那条峡谷，愣是凶猛异常地撕开一条血路。天上雷公电母前来相助，调遣麾下所有的天兵天将，将箭矢枪炮一应辎重悉数投入了战斗。
