Even that has the perspective of little figures looking up,

那些微小的意象在透视图中抬头仰望着
so it even puts Alice in that masterful position,

使艾丽斯拥有统治的地位

不仅由于奥古斯特是个出色的木工
but because Elias carves for Celeste;

还包括埃利亚斯为塞莱斯特做的那些雕刻
that's his first act of love.

他为爱的第一场演出
And, if you read Jones' stories,

如果你读过琼斯的故事
