LESSON 103 THE INFLUENCES OF THE SUN
第一百零三課 日光的影響
As surely as the force which moves a clock's hands is derived from the arm which winds up the clock,
同移動鐘表的手力來自于上緊發條的胳膊一樣，
so surely is all terrestrial power drawn from the sun.
所有陸地上的動力皆源于日光。
Leaving out of account the eruptions of volcanoes, and the ebb and flow of the tides,
不考慮火山噴發、潮水落潮和流動的話，
every mechanical action on the earth's surface, every manifestation of power,
地球表面的每一種機械運動，動力的每一種表現形式，
organic and inorganic, vital and physical, is produced by the sun.
不論有機體的還是無機體的，不論生物體的還是身體上的，都產生自日光。
His warmth keeps the sea liquid, and the atmosphere a gas,
日光的溫暖能使海水保持液態，大氣層保持氣態，
and all the storms which agitate both are blown by the mechanical force of the sun.
將海洋和大氣層攪得天翻地覆的暴風雨，是由太陽的機械力吹動的。
He lifts the rivers and the glaciers up to the mountains;
他能將河水和冰川“舉到”高山上；
and thus the cataract and the avalanche shoot with an energy derived immediately from him.
因此，大瀑布和大雪崩的能量直接源于日光。
