The hot weather of July had crept upon them unawares, and the atmosphere of the flat vale hung heavy as an opiate over the dairy-folk, the cows, and the trees.

七月的炎热天气在不知不觉中来到了人们身边，平坦山谷中的大气好像麻醉剂一样，既沉重又沉闷，笼罩着奶牛场的人们、奶牛和树木。

I discreetly study them as I hurry toward the exit. They look as complacent as cows in deep grass. Most are lugging plastic bags heavy with merchandise, undoubtedly much of it Chinese.

向出口走去的时候，我仔细观察了一下，他们看上去像身边满是青草的奶牛那样满足，很多人拎着满满的塑料袋，显然里面大多数是中国产品。

One winter the rains were particularly heavy, and the cows in the corrals were up to their bellies in muck, unable to lie down and forced to sleep standing up.

某个冬天，雨下得特别大，栅栏的牛群，被泥水掩盖至腹部，以致无法躺下来，要被迫站着睡觉。
