    大门总是有神仙守卫着。

There are always Gods guarding temple gates.

 
我们单位的头，Steve Kravchuck军士。他到来时，战争快要结束了。

 Our station chief, Master Sergeant Steve Kravchuck. I took his place, near the end of the war, when he had enough points to return to the States.

千佛寺（原文如此，实际上是邛竹寺，戈叔亚注）。注意看其中一个有很长的手臂。另外一个有很长的眉毛。

 The temple of a thousand Gods. Note the one with the long arm. 

 And one with long eyebrows. 

 “龙门”紧贴在悬崖上，是西山最高的寺庙。注意看悬崖上雕琢的隧道。有一个佛像琢在岩石上。我对石匠精湛的工艺大为惊叹。

“Dragon Gate” clings to the face of mountain and is the highest temple on West Hill. Note the trail tunneling along the face of the cliff. High above this last shrine, a God is sculpted into solid rock. I marveled at the engineering skill and craftsmanship required for such a feat.

 山顶上最后一个寺庙。注意隧道雕琢在悬崖上，

The last shrine clings to the face of the mountain. Note the trail tunneling along the face of the cliff. High above the last shrine, a God is sculpted into solid rock. 

“水车”（原文是“提水机”）完全是木制的。用脚不停地踩动踏板，水就可以通过水槽流到一个高的地方。

 This “water lifting machine,” is completely made of wood. By means of a foot treadle the chain of paddles pushes water along the length of a trough to pour out at the other end.

 
 农人用水车工作，水进入田里。

 Machines at work, lifting water from a canal into a rice field.

我在地板上绘画。

 On the transmitter building floor; I wonder what I was painting?
