小舟在河上航行

小舟在河上航行，

大船在海中操輪，

然而白云飄過(guò)天空時(shí)，

比這些更為悅?cè)恕?/p>

河上有橋，

如你所愿的那么悅目；

然而橫跨在穹蒼的長(zhǎng)虹，

卻比樹(shù)梢更高，

而能建筑一條通行天際的道路，

比這些更為美好。

Boats sail on the rivers，

And ships sail on the seas；

But clouds that sail across the sky，

Are prettier far than these.

There are bridges on the rivers，

As pretty as you please；

But the bow that bridges heaven，

And overtops the trees，

And builds a road from earth to sky，

Is prettier far than these.
