246 feet above the canyon floor,
在75米高的峡谷之上
it was built beneath an overhang to shelter it from the elements.
庙宇建在悬空的屋顶下 免于风吹雨打 水淹土埋
Horizontal and vertical foundations were hand chiseled into the mountain.
水平和垂直的根基是由手工嵌入山里面的
And a grid of hard wood beams inserted
嵌入山岩的网状硬木梁
to support three buildings and more than 40 rooms.
支持了三栋楼和40多个房间
Protecting the site from its own popularity is a seemingly impossible task.
因为其闻名遐迩 保护寺庙似乎是一个不可能的任务
But ChangShuiwen is undaunted.
但是常水文却不为所惧
