Above them a great fortress extends the precipice way beyond its natural height .
在它们上面一个大堡垒超出悬崖的天然高度沿着峭壁的方向延伸出去。
We all know the classic scenes from cartoons . The cart reaches a precipice . But it goes on walking . Ignoring the fact that there is nothing beneath .
我都知道一典的卡通景：一到了崖，但前，忽略了下有任何西的事。
We may be standing at a precipice .
我们也许正位于悬崖边上。
Once the foolhardy are teetering on the precipice , it is too late for smugness .
