我是如此惧怕人类的语言。

I fear so the word of man.

他们把一切都说得那样明白：

All expressed has such precision:

这个叫做狗，那个叫做房屋，

And this is called hound and that is called house

这里是开始，那里是结束。

and here is begin and the end is there.

他们的知觉，他们嘲讽的戏弄也令我忧虑，

I fear the meaning, the mocking game,

他们什么都知道，将来和过去的一切；

all is known, what will be and was;

没有哪座山峦还能让他们觉得神妙；

mountains no longer hold any splendor;

他们的园圃和农庄径直与上帝毗邻。

garden and grounds go straight to God.

我要不停地警告拦阻：不要靠近。

I want ever to warn and resist: Stay away.

我是如此喜爱倾听万物的歌唱。

I want to hear the singing things.

你们将它碰触：它们就变得凝滞喑哑。

You touch them: they are stiff and dumb.

你们戕害了我所有的一切事物。

You kill the things for me.
