【EP1:小詩一首】

It starts as a whisper,

a word on the air,

It can't quite be heard, but you know that it's there,

As gentle as sunlight,As tenacious as hail

｛ tenacious:頑固的，堅(jiān)韌的，hail：冰雹｝

in its route to the heart, it couldn't but prevail

{prevail:盛行，流行，戰(zhàn)勝，獲勝}

And the people looked up from their day-to - day tasks, their day-to-day jobs and their day-to-day masks

they heard or they felt where the whisper could lead

and they looked with eyes wide at what might mean

and once they could see it , they hadn't a chance to resist the sweet song of the deep spell it cast

{cast spell:施展法術(shù)}

But the feeling it brought them at first glance was pain

{at first glance:乍一看，初看}

as they lifted their eyes on the land they had claimed {claim: 聲稱，要求 lift the eyes:抬起眼睛}

since they saw at last as if raised from a dream

they were almost alone on the land and the sea

for the trees had almost gone

and the bees had almost gone

and the creatures in their shells by the seas had almost gone

and the people felt sad as they saw their new earth

but they knew that was it

one wild chance for rebirth

{rebirth:新生，再生}

breaking new ground, seeds rolling down

開墾土地，播撒種子

smell of the earth on your hands and your brow

no time for sorrow, we're building tomorrow

{sorrow:悲傷}

the sound of things growing now keeps us around

as the wildness grows ,and the deep wood grows

and the sense that the futures come to meet you grows

there's no chance we can rest

we must do our best

this moment can lead us back home

that's our test

It starts as a whisper

a word on the air

?It can't quite be heard, but you know that it's there

it then spoke like thunder until we all moved

and we could and we did and it's done

she's renewed
