在《莫多克》这本书中，令人惊奇的情景不断出现，又迅速地消失，有时它牵扯着人突然进入了一个全新的境界，我甚至很久找不到适当的词语，有这样一段描述：

 

　　It was a lovely day .Summer was stealing some extra time while fall slept. White puffs of clouds hung in the sky with seemingly no interest in moving on . The rains had turned the countryside intlo a sea of green covering the hilltops. The slopes, spotted with groves of sycamore and spruce trees ,caugeht the runoff and were a deeper green ,with splashes of pruple sage,the essence of the lush valley.The rainwater slowed and settled into the rich loam, and from it grew the emerald grassthat carpeted God's horse ,grass where the regal stage grazed. Inthe middle of the palsce's private forest flowed the beautiful Agra,a mystical rever of dark blue water. It writhed through the forest like a giant serpent ,angling through the trees,changing in width,in girth,mever ending,　sometimes multi-channeled,and splitting into many trbutaries.

 

   天气真好，秋天还在沉睡之中，夏天正在偷走秋天的时光。白色的云朵高悬在天空，好像没有飘走的兴致。一场大雨把田野变成了绿色的海洋，一直覆盖到小山顶上，点缀着簇簇椿树和云杉的陡坡峭壁，接住了顺坡而下的流淌，显得更加郁郁葱葱。丛丛紫色的鼠尾草惹人注目，散发着翠谷特有的芬芳。雨　水渐渐渗透入了沃土，从那时长出茂盛浓绿的青草，给上帝的屋宇铺上了绿毯，也让国王的牡鹿群的追逐奔跑。在宫廷专有的森林之中，流淌着一条美丽的艾格拉河，深蓝色的河水　神秘莫测。它像　一条巨蝉一样在林中蜿蜒而过，穿行在林木之间，时宽时窄，时仇时缓，水不停息，有时候还分成多条河道一起流淌，或者生出很多支流。
