Nestling amongst the magnificent hills were the crumbling ruins of an old monastery.壮丽的山峦中，一座倾颓的古老寺院隐约可见。It seems that the government is prepared to let all our hospitals and schools go to rack and ruin.看来政府打算让我们所有的医院和学校都倾颓破败。The cliffs on which the houses are built are starting to crumble.上面建有房屋的悬崖开始倾颓瓦解。
