The male are still more abundant, pale yellow, a fourth of an inch long and when the pollen is ripe they color the whole tree and dust the air and the ground.

雄性数量更多，淡黄色，四分之一英寸长，当花粉成熟时，它们会为整棵树着色，并在空气和地面上撒上灰尘。

Then in winter the trees themselves break forth in bloom, myriads of small four-sided staminate cones crowd the ends of the slender sprays, coloring the whole tree, and when ripe dusting the air and the ground with golden pollen.

然后在冬天，树木本身开始开花，无数个四边形的雄蕊球果挤满了细长的花束的末端，为整棵树染上了色彩，成熟时，金色的花粉撒满了空气和地面。
