I have seen a thousand sunsets and sunrises, on land where it floods forest and mountains with honey coloured light,
我看過無數次日出日落，在大地上，森林和群山都被籠罩在光芒之中，
at sea where it rises and sets like a blood orange in a multicoloured nest of cloud, slipping in and out of the vast ocean.
在大海上，為五彩的云朵增添上一抹血橘色，在無垠的大海上劃進劃出。

I have felt winds straight from the South Pole, bleak and wailing like a lost child; winds as tender and warm as a lover's breath;
我感受過來自南極的烈風，寒冷呼嘯著像一個走失的兒童；感受過如愛人呼吸般的柔風；
winds that carried the astringent smell of salt and the death of seaweeds; winds that carried the moist rich smell of a forest floor, the smell of a million flowers.
摻雜著苦澀的咸味和海草死亡氣息的海風；彌散著森林大地肥沃土壤氣息和千萬種花香的山風。
Fierce winds that churned and moved the sea like yeast, or winds that made the waters lap at the shore like a kitten.
狂風濤海如同酵母發酵起沫，或使海水輕拍海岸像小貓一般。
I have known silence: the cold, earthy silence at the bottom of a newly dug well; the implacable stony silence of a deep cave;
我了解寧靜：一口新井中寒冷又樸實的寧靜；一個深洞中無情冷酷的寧靜；
the hot, drugged midday silence when everything is hypnotised and stilled into silence by the eye of the sun; the silence when great music ends.
炎熱迷離的午后萬物被炎炎烈日催眠的寧靜；一曲美妙音樂結束的寧靜。

我聽過聲嘶力竭的街道商販成交皮草生意的叫嚷，好像是對它們鎏金妻子的贊美；
the crisp staccato admonishment of the Rattlesnake, the cobweb squeak of the Bat and the belling roar of the Red deer knee-deep in purple heather.
響尾蛇清脆卻不連貫的警告聲；成群結隊的蝙蝠的刺耳叫聲；馬鹿在齊膝的紫石楠中的咆哮。
