The cistern is empty but soon fills again.

蓄池里现在没,但不久就会储满。

The lavatory cistern overflowed.

厕所箱溢出来了。

14 It crashes like a potter's jar smashed beyond rescue, And among its fragments cannot be found a sherd to scoop fire from the hearth or dip water from the cistern.

坍塌得有如毫不痛惜地被摔器，得找不到一块片，能用以从炉中取火，从井里取。
