　　Ode To The Sea 至大海(中英对照)

　　---Pablo Neruda

　　Here surrounding the island there is sea

　　But what sea

　　lt's always overflowing

　　says " Yes," then“No," then "No"again.

　　And "No,"says"Yes" in blue,

　　in sea spray raging,

　　says "No" and "No" again.

　　It can't be still.

　　It stammers "my name is sea."

　　It slaps the rocks,

　　and when they aren't convinced

　　Strokes them and soaks them

　　and smolders them with kisses.

　　with seven green tongues of seven green dogs,

　　Or seven green tigers, or Seven green seas

　　Beating its chest, stammering its name.

　　Oh, sea, this is your name.

　　oh, comrade ocean, don't waste time

　　or water getting so upset.

　　Help us instead.

　　We're meager fishermen,

　　men from the shore.

　　We're hungry and cold

　　and you're our foe.

　　Don't beat so hard, don't shout so loud.

　　Open your green coffers.

　　Place gifts of silver in our hands.

　　Give us this day our daily fish.
