The branches of the drooping willows were swaying lightly.

垂柳轻飘飘地摆动。

Generation after generation, the people here built and reinforced causeways across the lake, put up pavilions and stone Bridges, and planted drooping willows and flowers.

一代又一代的人民在这里修了横跨西湖的堤，建了亭阁和石桥，种了垂柳和花卉。

I am lying on the altar thing and staring up through one of the willows, whose drooping, arcing branches are like jagged fissures in the sky.

我正躺在圣坛上，透过一棵垂柳注视着天空，垂柳婀娜的枝条就像天空中参差不齐的裂纹。
