promontories

promontories

1. of 'the solitary rocks and promontories' by them only inhabited;

写到了只有海鸟栖居的“孤零零的岩石和海岬”；

2. Chiseled promontories edging St.Mary Lake bear witness: Ice moved here.

圣玛丽湖的棱边见证了冰川曾移动到过这里。

3. 6.The ever-swelling waves of this multitude broke against the angles of the houses, which projected here and there, like promontories, into the irregular basin of the Place.

广场形如参差不齐的一片水域，而四周这儿那儿突出来的墙角，宛若一个个海岬，那不断扩大的人流，浪涛汹涌，一阵阵冲击着这些岬角。

4. These inclinations are not whimsical usually， but their form， size， and direction are determined by the promontories of the shore， the ancient axes of elevation.

这些倾向往往不是古怪可笑的，它们的形式、大小、方向，都取决于岸上的岬角，亦即古时地势升高的轴线。
