雅各拿杨树，杏树，枫树的嫩枝，将皮剥成白纹，使枝子露出白的来。

Jacob, however, took fresh-cut branches from poplar, almond and plane trees and made white stripes on them by peeling the bark and exposing the white inner wood of the branches.

但是当暴风吹弯了高大的杨树，把树叶吹散成涡旋，当它连根拔起树，吹走建筑的屋顶，谁会怀疑空气的存在呢？

But when a violent wind bends tall poplars and scatters the leaves in eddies, when it uproots trees and carries off the roofs of buildings, who can doubt the existence of air?
