(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。
