(1)
Boats sail on the rivers,小舟在河上航行,
And ships sail on the seas;大船在海中操轮,
But clouds that sail across the sky,然而白云飘过天空时,
Are prettier far than these.比这些更为悦人。
(2)
There are bridges on the rivers,河上有桥,
As pretty as you please;如你所愿的那么悦目;
But the bow that bridges heaven,然而横跨在穹苍的长虹,
And overtops the trees,却比树梢更高,
And builds a road from earth to sky,而能建筑一条通行天际的道路,
Is prettier far than these.比这些更为美好。
