Climbing up in the south quire to look at the traceries originally , he had found them heavily fissured , like all durham 's ancient sandstone .

爬到南唱诗班席位上去原本是去看花饰窗格，他却发现他们已经严重破裂，就像所有达勒姆古老的沙岩那样。

The vast checkerboard patterns of farmland ; the thin traceries of roads , railways , and airplane contrails ; egypt 's great pyramid and china 's great wall-all are easily seen with the naked eye .

棋盘般的广阔农田；蜿蜒的公路、铁路还有飞机留下的尾烟；埃及的胡夫金字塔和中国的长城都可以轻易的用肉眼辨别出来。
