Many others are being worked at this moment;others are to be begun to-morrow，next week，next month;others are unbought，unthought of；and marble enough for more ages than have passed since the place was resorted to，lies hidden everywhere： patiently awaiting its time of discovery.
另外有许多山洞是新近开采的；有一些可能会在明天，下周，下个月开始开采；还有的尚未被人承包，未被考虑到。自从这里修复以来，就有足够多的大理石隐藏在各处，供未来的人开采；耐心地等待被发现的时刻。
Carrara，shut in by great hills，is very picturesque and bold. Few tourists stay there;and the people are nearly all connected，in one way or other，with the working of marble. There are also villages among the caves，where the workmen live. It contains a beautiful little Theatre，newly built;and it is an interesting custom there，to form the chorus of labourers in the marble quarries，who are self-taught and sing by ear. I heard them in a comic opera，and in an act of Norma; and they acquitted themselves very well;unlike the common people of Italy generally，who sing vilely out of tune，and have very disagreeable singing voices.
卡拉拉城为群山环抱,风录独特，地势险竣。很少会有游客在那甩逗留。这里的人，或多或少几乎都与大理石开采相关联。有些村庄也坐落在这些石窟中,开采大理石的人就住在那里。村里还有一座漂亮的小剧院,是新不久前刚刚建成的。在那里有一个有趣的习俗，就是组建采石场的工人合唱队。他们都是自学歌曲，靠耳朵辨音唱歌。我听过他们在名为《诺玛》幽默剧中的演唱，他们能将自己的情怀表达得淋漓尽致，通常也不会像普通的意大利人那样唱歌跑调，不堪人耳。
From the summit of a lofty hill beyond Carrara，the first view of the fertile plain in which the town of Pisa lies-with Leghorn，a purple spot in the flat distance-is enchanting. Nor is it only distance that lends enchantment to the view;for the fruitful country，and rich woods of olive-trees through which the road subsequently passes，render it delightful.
从卡拉拉之外的一座商山的顶邡，第一眼看到的肥沃平原一比萨镇的所在地一很是迷人。而来亨却只是远处平原上的紫色斑点。并不仅仅是距离才成就这种迷人的风景，还有那丰饶的物产，大量的橄揽树林，和蜿蜓于林间的适路，都给人赏心悦目的感觉。
