木々には蔓が巻き付いていることからも風化が進んでおり、数年程度ではこうはならないだろう有り様だ。 I'm having trouble with the latter part. "Weathering has advanced from the fact that vines started enveloping/wrapping the trees, but it won’t be the same in a few years." Help? It doesn't make sense to me.
on google, if you split the sentence up in half, the latter half apparently says in about a few years this will not be the case. not sure what the conext is so thats all i got
人々で賑わったであろうその地にはかつての面影はない。 木々には蔓が巻き付いていることからも風化が進んでおり、数年程度ではこうはならないだろう有り様だ。事実、この地が捨て置かれてからというもの百年余は経っていることになる。 滅びた文明のようだと形容してもおかしくはない光景だった。 そんな滅びの光景を経年が包み込み、哀感すら薄れさせていく。
so using google translate and my paraphasing i got this: 人々で賑わったであろうその地にはかつての面影はない。 there was nothing left in a place that use to be so populated, 木々には蔓が巻き付いていることからも風化が進んでおり、数年程度ではこうはならないだろう有り様だ。 the erosion of (the place? not sure what place) lasted so long that trees and vines sprouted everwhere 滅びた文明のようだと形容してもおかしくはない光景だった。 it was not a process that could of occured in just a few years 事実、この地が捨て置かれてからというもの百年余は経っていることになる。 in fact, it had been over hundreds of years since this place was abandoned(or destroyed since i dont understand the context of how this place was left behind.) 滅びた文明のようだと形容してもおかしくはない光景だった。 there was nothing funny about this scene which painted was a civilzation being destoryed. そんな滅びの光景を経年が包み込み、哀感すら薄れさせていく。 by the wheel of time grinding all to dust(could use another word or phase to describe how time does what it does), made me sad.
"Each and every tree had vines growing on their trunks and were weathered, this condition would not be reached in just a handfull of years." As I understand it, someone is watching a scenery with a bunch of overgrown, weathered trees, and they think about how it must have taken a good deal of time for it to become like this.
basically saying that it must have been quite a while, as reaching such a state will take a long time, not just a few years.
