Boats sail on the rivers，小舟在河上航行，

And ships sail on the seas;大船在海中操輪，

But clouds that sail across the sky，然而白云飄過天空時(shí)，

Are prettier far than these.比這些更為悅?cè)恕?/p>

(2)

There are bridges on the rivers，河上有橋，

As pretty as you please;如你所愿的那么悅目;

But the bow that bridges heaven，然而橫跨在穹蒼的長(zhǎng)虹，

And overtops the trees，卻比樹梢更高，

And builds a road from earth to sky，而能建筑一條通行天際的道路，

Is prettier far than these.比這些更為美好。
