The whole river was like a boiling cauldron, with masses of ice upheaved as by a volcano.

整条河就像个沸腾的大锅， 大块的冰块像火隆起。

Suddenly the waters around them slowly swelled in broad circles; then quickly upheaved, as if sideways sliding from a submerged berg of ice, swiftly rising to the surface.

突然，周围的水面慢慢涌起许多大圆圈来，随后，快速地隆起，仿佛座水下的冰从旁了来，迅速升上水面。

" Because this liquid mass would be subject, like the ocean, to the lunar attraction, and therefore twice every day there would be internal tides, which, upheaving the terrestrial crust, would cause periodical earthquakes! "

“因为这种液态物质像海洋​​受到月球引力的影响，因此每天都两次内潮汐，内潮汐导致地壳隆起，从而引发周期性地震！”

For a minute or two the shocks became more and more violent — flashing horizontal thrusts mixed with a few twists and battering, explosive, upheaving jolts, — as if Nature were wrecking her Yosemite temple, and getting ready to build a still better one.

两分钟后，震动变得越来越猛烈——闪烁的水平推力夹杂着些扭曲和撞击，爆炸性的、剧烈的颠簸——仿佛大自然正在摧毁她的优胜美地神庙，并准备建造个更好的神庙。
