Sirius

Sirius is the brightest star in the sky.

天狼星是天空中最亮的一颗星。

Then, a couple of months later, one morning in the eastern sky just before dawn, Sirius would reappear.

然后，几个月以后的一天早晨，在黎明前的东方的天空上，天狼星又重新出现了。

Their astronomers had discovered that at a certain time of year the brightest star, Sirius, would disappear.

他们的天文学家发现，在一年中的某个时候，最亮的天狼星会消失。

They continually adjusted it to the heliacal rising of Sirius, ensuring that they never got too far off in their seasons.

他们不断地调整它以适应天狼星的偕日升，确保他们在自己的季节里不会偏离太远。

It seemed to take Sirius an age to fall: his body curved in a graceful arc as he sank backward through the ragged veil hanging from the arch.

小天狼星摔倒好像用了很长时间：当他向后摔倒，通过了拱门上粗糙的帘子时，他的身体蜷成了一个优美的拱形。
