I go out in the early morning and there is such silence that even breath is a profanation.

清早，我便来到屋外。雪后的世界是如此安谧，甚至是轻微的呼吸都能打破这份宁静。

There is a kind of pleasure which comes from sacrilege or the profanation of the objects offered us for worship.

有一种快乐来自于对我们应该膜拜的对象的冒犯和亵渎。

Their observance protects the holy object from profanation, from being profaned, reverting from holy status back to common status.

它们按照惯例保护着神圣的东西不受亵渎，不受玷污，不让它们重新回归世俗。
