Listen to this articleConversing with the Sea
《与海的谈话》
Gazing at the great expanse of swirling mists and waves,
我望着烟波浩淼的大海，
I fall on my knees, awed by the sea’s grandeur.
拜倒于它的深沉宏伟，
I ask: O sea
于是我问道：大海啊，
Of all your riches, what do you cherish the most?
在你的一切财富中什么最珍贵？
The sea replies:
大海回答说：
Some say my pearls
有人说是我的珍珠
Which are in truth a mermaid’s tears,
其实那是鲛人的泪。
Some say my color
有人说是我的颜色，
Which is in truth the beauty of the blue skies.
其实那是蓝天的美。
What I cherish most
我所最珍贵的，
Is a drop of water that slips into my bosom
是从那岩石的缝隙里，
From a crack in the rock.
坠入我怀中的一滴水。
