Europe and China suffered historic floods this summer.

今年夏天，欧洲和中国遭受了历史性的洪水。

It is these summer floods through the Blue Nile that historically eroded enormous quantities of fertile soil from the temperate Ethiopian Highlands.

历史上，正是这些通过青尼罗河的夏季洪水侵蚀了埃塞俄比亚温带高地的大量肥沃土壤。

The voice of the fall was now low, and the grand spring and summer floods had waned to sifting, drifting gauze and thin-broidered folds of linked and arrowy lace-work.

秋天的声音现在低沉了，盛大的春夏洪水已经退去，变成了筛子、漂流的薄纱和细密的绣花褶皱，连接着箭状的花边。
