Rooftops are singed and the ground is covered with smoldering soot.

屋顶被烧焦，地面被闷烧的煤烟覆盖。

This glowing soot is where most of a candle's light comes from.

蜡烛的光主要便来自这些发光的煤烟。

It developed black wings, so that it was invisible when it settled on soot-covered tree trunks.

他们进化为黑色翅膀，甚至当他们栖息在煤烟覆盖的树干时以至于能够达到隐形效果。

You wanna turn back into soot

你们想回去当地上的煤烟吗?

Sulfurous plumes of steam and ash billow thousands of meters into the sky, forming dark storm clouds of soot and lightning.

含硫的蒸汽和灰烬向数千米高的天空翻腾，形成由煤烟和闪电组成的黑暗风云。

Soot, who was watching the performance, became much disturbed and left his branch and hopped about restlessly because he could not do them too.

正在观看表演的煤烟也变得不安，离开了他的树枝，不安地跳来跳去，因为他也做不到。

All about him were the smell of steam and soot and fire, the noise, of box-cars, engines, boilers, the mysterious workings of pistons, valves, levers, gears.

他周围有蒸汽、煤烟和火的气味，车厢、引擎和锅炉的噪音，活塞、阀门、杠杆和齿轮神秘的工作原。

The stone was a little weathered, but showed no marks of the grimy sootiness which I was used to on every London building more than a year old.

石头有点风化， 但没有显示出我在伦敦建成一年多的每一栋建筑上都习惯的那种肮脏的煤烟痕迹。

Its universe had ceased; perhaps he had found another one entirely, an underworld of soot and ashes, or perhaps he had found blue bird heaven where seeds abound and there aren't squirrels imposing their will.

它的宇宙已停止了；也许他完全找到了另一个世界，一个充满煤烟和灰烬的地下世界，或者也许他找到了蓝鸟天堂，那里到处都是种子，而且没有松鼠强加自己的意志。

Sure, there have been some attempts to stop, even as far back as 1306, when complaints about the increasing stench of coal smoke in London led the King of England to ban coal in the city.

当然， 已有人试图阻止，甚至早在 1306 年，当时对伦敦煤烟越来越臭的抱怨导致英格兰国王禁止在该市使用煤炭。

Not all the carbon in the candle gets converted to CO2, so leftover carbon atoms come together and form tiny particles of soot, which heat up and glow orange and yellow like the hot coals under a grill.

不是所有蜡烛里的碳都会变成二氧化碳，而残余的碳原子会聚在一起形成细小的煤烟粒子，它们加热后便产生橘黄色的光芒，就像烤炉中的热炭。
