ON the seashore of endless worlds children meet. 

孩子们相聚在无垠世界的海边。

The infinite sky is motionless overhead and the restless water is boisterous¹. On the seashore of endless worlds the children meet with shouts and dances. 

辽阔的穹苍在头上静止，不息的海水在脚下汹涌澎湃。孩子们相聚在无垠世界的海边，欢叫着手舞足蹈。

They build their houses with sand, and they play with empty shells. With withered² leaves they weave their boats and smilingly float them on the vast deep. Children have their play on the seashore of worlds.

 他们用沙来筑屋，玩弄着空空的贝壳。他们用落叶编成小船，笑着让它们漂浮在深海里。孩子们在自己世界的海边游玩。

They know not how to swim, they know not how to cast nets. Pearl-fishers dive for pearls, merchants sail in their ships, while children gather pebbles³ and scatter⁴ them again. They seek not for hidden treasures, they know not how to cast nets. 

他们不懂得如何游泳，他们不晓得怎样撒网。采珠的人潜水寻找宝珠，商人在船上航行，孩子们却把鹅卵石拾起又丢掉。他们不寻找宝藏，他们不知怎样撒网。

The sea surges up with laughter, and pale gleams the smile of the sea-beach. Death-dealing waves sing meaningless ballads⁵ to the children, even like a mother while rocking her baby's cradle. The sea plays with children, and pale gleams the smile of the sea-beach. 

大海欢笑着翻腾浪花，而海滩的微笑泛着暗淡的光。凶险的惊涛骇浪，对孩子们唱着没有意义的曲子，仿佛母亲在晃悠婴儿入睡时的哼唱。大海和孩子们一同玩耍，而海滩的微笑泛着暗淡的光。

On the seashore of endless worlds children meet. Tempest roams in the pathless sky, ships are wrecked⁶ in the trackless water, death is abroad and children play. On the seashore of endless worlds is the great meeting of children. 

孩子们相聚在无垠世界的海边。暴风雨在广袤的天穹中怒吼，航船沉寂在无垠的大海里，死亡临近，孩子们却在玩耍。在无垠世界的海边，有着孩子们盛大的聚会。
