深渊
Abyss
Life is a flimsy branch over an abyss.
生命是深渊上脆弱的一根树枝。
We are at the edge of an abyss and we're close to being irrevocably lost.
我们正处在深渊的边缘，我们即将不可挽回地迷失。
I thought this must be obvious to everyone else, as it seemed obvious to me; and that, if once it became apparent that we were on the edge, all the Great Powers would call a halt and recoil from the abyss.
我想这对其他人来说一定是显而易见的，就像对我来说是显而易见的一样;而且，一旦我们的处境变得明显，所有的大国都会停止行动，从深渊中退缩。
