Boats Sail On The Rivers

　　(1)

　　Boats sail on the rivers，小舟在河上航行，

　　And ships sail on the seas;大船在海中操輪，

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

　　Are prettier far than these.比這些更為悅人。

　　(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。
