Under the Volcano

The new conference has gained a title: "Under the Volcano" (an ironic homage to the Malcolm Lowry novel).

新的会议被称作“在火山之下”(这是对Malcolm Lowry的小说讽刺性的致敬)。

The eyjafjallajokull volcano in southern Iceland began erupting on March 20, with a second eruption starting under the center of small glacier on April 14.

冰岛南部的埃亚·菲亚·德拉火山3月20日开始喷发，4月14日又开始在小冰川的中心之下开始喷发。

Once or twice under the foothills I glimpsed the mound of a kurgan, broken open like the lips of a volcano – the burial-place of a tribal chief, perhaps, or the milestone of some lost nomad advance.

在山麓小丘之下，我瞥见了一两个坟头，坟头已经裂开，样子与火山口相仿——也许，它是部落首领的埋葬之地，或者就是某个迷失的游牧开拓者的一座里程碑。
