All that Edmond had been able to do was to drag himself about a dozen paces forward to lean against a moss-grown rock.
爱德蒙所能做的也只是把自己向前拖了十几步，靠在一块长满苔藓的岩石上。The muskeg berries did not allay this gnawing, while they made his tongue and the roof of his mouth sore with their irritating bite.
苔藓浆果不但不能减轻他的痛楚，反倒用它那刺激性的味道烧灼着他的嘴。Each piece of moss is cut into a foam frame, which prevents the moss from spreading or growing out of control.
每一块苔藓都被嵌入了泡沫框架中，以防止其过分生长或者四处散布。I really like this photo, as the twigs of moss seem to be embracing, as if they were trying to get warm
我真的很喜欢这张照片，因为苔藓的幼茎似乎呈拥抱状，仿佛他们试图拥抱取暖。His rubber boots leave no print on the spongy ground, which is so green it appears as if the sky has let loose a snowfall of moss.
他的胶靴踩在海绵般柔软的地上，一点痕迹都不留下，土壤上覆盖的绿色仿佛天上下了一场苔藓雪。If the sealed jar had light and a steady temperature, there was theoretically no reason why the lichens couldn't live until the sun dies.
如果这个封闭的玻璃罐能获得光照和稳定的温度，那么，从理论上说，这些苔藓没有理由不能生存到太阳毁灭的那一天。The bottom of the valley was soggy with water, which the thick moss held, spongelike, close to the surface.
谷底潮湿，厚厚的苔藓，像海绵一样吸饱了水，覆盖着地面。The trees come up to my window; and the touch of the nameless days clings to my heart like mosses round the old tree.
绿树长到了我的窗前；而无名的感触，攀缘在我的心上，正象那绿色的苔藓，攀缘在老树的周身。Everything was green: the trees, their trunks covered with moss, their branches hanging with a canopy of it, the ground covered with ferns.
一切都是绿色的：那些树，树干上长满了苔藓，枝干上挂着的绿叶宛如穹庐，地面覆盖着蕨科植物。
