翻译: I have sought love, next,

题目

翻译: I have sought love, next,
I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness -that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomale lifeless abyss
在这种可怕的孤独中,一颗颤抖的良心在世界的边缘,注视着下面冰凉、毫无生气、望不见底的深渊.
请问：look over ... into... 英文本意在描述一种什么样的动作?

答案

looks over the rim of the world
就是把世界看着是一个大整体,全盘仔细看一遍,所以不应该是"一颗颤抖的良心在世界的边缘",而是"一颗颤抖的良心搜索整个世界,看到的是冰冷的,毫无生气、望不见底的深渊.
