A cigarette is still pluming in the ashtray.

一支香烟仍在烟缸里吐着缕缕青烟。

And we knew that his spirit was pluming its flight, that his hour of departure had come.

我们知道爷爷的灵魂已随钟声飞逝。

We have seen the Twin Towers collapse hundreds of times on TV. The steel and glass skyscrapers exploding like a bag of flour, the dust and smoke pluming out across Manhattan.

在电视上，我们曾无数次地看着世贸双塔轰然倒地：这个由钢筋混凝土铸成的摩天大楼如一大包爆炸了的面粉，烟尘滚滚弥漫了整个曼哈顿。
