他们把一切和盘托出:

They describe so distinctly everything:

这个叫做狗，那个叫做房屋，

And this they call dog and that they call house,

这个是开始，那个是结束。

Here the start and there the end.

我怕人的聪明，人的讥诮，

I worry about their mockery with words,

过去和未来，他们似乎全部知道；

They know everything, what will be, what was;

没有哪座山再令他们感到好奇，

No mountain is still miraculous

他们的花园和山庄紧挨上帝。

And their house and yard lead right up to god

我不断的警告和抗拒：请离我远一些。

I want to warn and object:

我爱听万物的声音，可一经

Let the things be !

你们触碰，它们就了无声息。

I enjoy listening to the soung they are making

你们毁了我一切的一切。

But you always touch

And they hush and stand still.

That's how you kill.
