O wind, rend open the heat,

风啊，劈开这热，

cut apart the heat,

把它切开，

rend it to tatters.

劈成碎片。

Fruit cannot drop

果子没法掉进

through this thick air—

这粘稠的空气——

fruit cannot fall into heat

果子没法掉进这热，

that presses up and blunts

热紧压着它，

the points of pears

使梨尖变钝，

and rounds the grapes.

把葡萄磨圆。

Cut the heat—

切开这热——

plough through it,

犁过去吧。

turning it on either side

把它翻到在

of your path.

你道路的两边。
