Docks, hospitals, wharves, a Gothic cathedral, a government house, macadamised streets, give to Hong Kong the appearance of a town in Kent or Surrey transferred by some strange magic to the antipodes.

里有船坞、医院、码头、仓库；还有一座哥特式建筑的大教堂和一个总督府；到处是碎石铺成的马路，一切都使人觉得是英国肯特郡或萨里郡的某一个商业城市，从球的那一面钻过来，再出现在一块中国的土上了。

One of the odder coincidences of physical geography is the fact that there are two double islands, roughly the same size, positioned at each other's antipodes, or farthest-distant point.

理上较为奇特的巧合之一是球上有两组大小约略相同、位置相对或者说相距最为遥远的双岛。
