2. I felled a cedar tree, and I doubt whether Solomon ever had such a tree for the building of the temple at Jerusalem.
    我砍倒了一棵杉树，心想所罗门在耶路撒冷修建宫殿时恐怕也没有用过这么大的树。

3. It was not without infinite labour that I felled this tree.
    我费了九牛二虎之力才砍倒这棵树。

4. If you compare it to a mountain, however, the large tree seems small.
    可是将树和山相比，大树就显得小了。

5. For a long time, I watched them scurrying around the base of the tree in bewilderment.
    在很长一段时间里，我看见蚂蚁围着大树底部来回转悠，不知所措。
