有人说世界将毁灭于火，

Some say the world will end in fire,

有人说要毁灭于冰。

Some say in ice.

我尝过情欲的苦果

From what I've tasted of desire

同意说它的死因是火。

I hold with those who favor fire.

但假若它必须两次陨命，

But if it had to perish twice,

对于恨，我的体会也很深

I think I know enough of hate

知道就破坏力而论，冰

To say that for destruction ice

也同样威猛惊人，

Is also great

也是那样的威猛惊人。

And would suffice.
