LESSON 79 THE SONG OF THE POTTER
第七十九课 陶工之歌
Turn, turn, my wheel! Turn round and round, without a pause, without a sound; So spins the flying world away!
转啊，转，我的轮子！转过来转过去，一声不响，不停歇：就这样，让这个飞逝的世界转动！
This clay, well mixed with marl and sand, follows the motion of my hand; For some must follow, and some command, though all are made of clay!
这块陶土，混合了泥灰和沙土，随着我手而动；有的人听命，有的人发号施令，全都是为了制成陶土！
Turn, turn, my wheel! All things must change to something new, to something strange;
转啊，转，我的轮子！手上的一切必须焕然一新，让人陌生；
Nothing that is can pause or stay; The moon will wax, the moon will wane, the mist and cloud will turn to rain, the rain to mist and cloud again, tomorrow be today.
没有什么能停下来或保持原样；月有圆缺，大雾和阴云会化成大雨，雨又化成雾和云，今日去时待明朝。
Turn, turn, my wheel! All life is brief; What now is bud will soon be leaf, what now is leaf will soon decay;
转啊，转，我的轮子！万物一夕间；此刻是蓓蕾，彼时即绿叶，此刻是绿叶，彼时即枯萎；
The wind blows east, the wind blows west; The blue eggs in the robin's nest will soon have wings and beak and breast, and flutter and fly away.
风儿向东吹，风儿向西吹；知更鸟巢里待敷的蛋，顷刻间就长出了翅膀、喙和胸膛，振翅远去了。
Turn, turn, my wheel! This earthen jar, a touch can make, a touch can mar; And shall it to the Potter say, what makest thou? Thou has no hand?
转啊，转，我的轮子！这个陶罐磨之能成，碰之即破；陶工会说，你磨成了什么？你没有手吗？
As men who think to understand a world by their creator planned, who wiser is than they.
这么思考的人会明白由他们的造物主创造的世界，心里盘算谁比他们更聪明。
