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。

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。
