The sun thought about that, and decided to shine more brightly.
太陽陷入沉思，決定發出更強烈的光芒。
The wind, which was enjoying the conversation, started to blow with greater force, so that the sun would not blind the boy.
風十分欣賞這番對話，為了不讓陽光刺傷男孩的眼睛，更加用力地刮起來。
"This is why alchemy exists," the boy said.
“煉金術就是為此誕生的，”男孩說。
"So that everyone will search for his treasure, find it, and then want to be better than he was in his former life.
“其目的是讓每個人都尋覓并找到他的財寶，而后力求變得更好，超越以往的自己。
Lead will play its role until the world has no further need for lead; and then lead will have to turn itself into gold.
鉛將履行自己的角色，直到世界不再需要它為止，那時它將不得不變成金子。
That's what alchemists do. They show that, when we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better, too."
煉金術士就是干這個的。他們要表明，當我們尋求變得比現在更好的時候，我們周圍的一切也將變得更好。”
"Well, why did you say that I don't know about love?" the sun asked the boy.
“可你為什么說我不了解愛呢？”太陽問道。
"Because it's not love to be static like the desert, nor is it love to roam the world like the wind.
“因為愛不像沙漠一樣靜止不動，不像風一樣跑遍世界。
And it's not love to see everything from a distance, like you do.
也不像你一樣總是從遠處觀望一切。
Love is the force that transforms and improves the Soul of the World.
愛是轉化和完善世界之魂的一種力量。
When I first reached through to it, I thought the Soul of the World was perfect.
當我第一次深入世界之魂的時候，我認為它是完美無缺的。
But later, I could see that it was like other aspects of creation, and had its own passions and wars.
但是后來我發現，它是一切創造物的反映，也有自己的沖突和激情。
It is we who nourish the Soul of the World, and the world we live in will be either better or worse, depending on whether we become better or worse.
是我們滋養著世界之魂，我們居住的地球是好還是壞，全取決于我們變好還是變壞。
And that's where the power of love comes in. Because when we love, we always strive to become better than we are."
這正是需要愛發揮力量的地方，因為當我們有愛的時候，總是希望自己變得更好。”
"So what do you want of me?" the sun asked.
“你想從我這兒得到什么？”太陽問。
"I want you to help me turn myself into the wind," the boy answered.
“要你幫助我把自己變成風。”男孩回答。
"Nature knows me as the wisest being in creation," the sun said.
“大自然知道我是所有創造物中最智慧的，”太陽說道。
"But I don't know how to turn you into the wind."
“但是我卻不知道怎樣將你變成風。”
"Then, whom should I ask?" The sun thought for a minute.
“那我應該去找誰談呢？”太陽停頓了片刻。
The wind was listening closely, and wanted to tell every corner of the world that the sun's wisdom had its limitations.
風聽到了這一切，便準備去告訴全世界，太陽的智慧是有限的。
That it was unable to deal with this boy who spoke the Language of the World.
它無法擺脫這個男孩，這個男孩會講世界的語言。
