Many others are being worked at this moment;others are to be begun to-morrow，next week，next month;others are unbought，unthought of；and marble enough for more ages than have passed since the place was resorted to，lies hidden everywhere： patiently awaiting its time of discovery.
另外有許多山洞是新近開采的；有一些可能會在明天，下周，下個月開始開采；還有的尚未被人承包，未被考慮到。自從這里修復以來，就有足夠多的大理石隱藏在各處，供未來的人開采；耐心地等待被發現的時刻。
Carrara，shut in by great hills，is very picturesque and bold. Few tourists stay there;and the people are nearly all connected，in one way or other，with the working of marble. There are also villages among the caves，where the workmen live. It contains a beautiful little Theatre，newly built;and it is an interesting custom there，to form the chorus of labourers in the marble quarries，who are self-taught and sing by ear. I heard them in a comic opera，and in an act of Norma; and they acquitted themselves very well;unlike the common people of Italy generally，who sing vilely out of tune，and have very disagreeable singing voices.
卡拉拉城為群山環抱,風錄獨特，地勢險竣。很少會有游客在那甩逗留。這里的人，或多或少幾乎都與大理石開采相關聯。有些村莊也坐落在這些石窟中,開采大理石的人就住在那里。村里還有一座漂亮的小劇院,是新不久前剛剛建成的。在那里有一個有趣的習俗，就是組建采石場的工人合唱隊。他們都是自學歌曲，靠耳朵辨音唱歌。我聽過他們在名為《諾瑪》幽默劇中的演唱，他們能將自己的情懷表達得淋漓盡致，通常也不會像普通的意大利人那樣唱歌跑調，不堪人耳。
From the summit of a lofty hill beyond Carrara，the first view of the fertile plain in which the town of Pisa lies-with Leghorn，a purple spot in the flat distance-is enchanting. Nor is it only distance that lends enchantment to the view;for the fruitful country，and rich woods of olive-trees through which the road subsequently passes，render it delightful.
從卡拉拉之外的一座商山的頂邡，第一眼看到的肥沃平原一比薩鎮的所在地一很是迷人。而來亨卻只是遠處平原上的紫色斑點。并不僅僅是距離才成就這種迷人的風景，還有那豐饒的物產，大量的橄攬樹林，和蜿蜓于林間的適路，都給人賞心悅目的感覺。
