那个在上空，在顶端，在最高峰，在天顶上的东西，它送给大地无穷光明，但它看见的很少，看不清或完全看不见？

That which is on high at the summit, at the crest, at the zenith, that which sends down so much light on the earth, sees but little, sees badly, sees not at all?

全帧鱼眼镜头拍到了地平线上所有东西，包括边缘一圈被灯光照亮的地景，正在脑袋上方的天顶。

The full fisheye frame shows everything above the horizon, including a lamp-illuminated landscape around the edges, and the zenith of the sky directly overhead.

Soon the sun's warmth makes them shed crystal shells - Shattering and avalanching on the snow crust-- Such heaps of broken glass to sweep away You'd think the inner dome of heaven had fallen.

阳光的温暖接着使那水晶的硬壳,从树枝上崩落，一齐倾泻在雪地上-,这么一大堆碎玻璃尽够你打扫,你还以为是天顶的华盖塌了下来。
