We have to pair that with that other evocation of the landscape to see this alternate idea, that actually this distanced criss-crossing of the landscape could be damaging. Think of those other violent knight's moves, like skipping past the mother's death.

我们得把关于风景的另一个回忆组成一对去理解,这个额外的想法，这个疏远的,十字纵横的景色描写可能是毁坏性的，想想其他的暴力的,迂回前进，比如跳过母亲死亡的方式。
