Iron 铁
Hid from our eyes, deep in the ground, 深深的地下,眼晴看不到的地方,
Great stores of
gems1 and gold are found, 能把金银财宝的仓库找到,
Rich mines of lead, and tin so fine; 有丰富的铅矿,上好的锡矿,
But more than these, I prize the mine 而我所钟爱的,胜过它们的,
Of rough, tough iron. 却是铁矿,坚硬又粗糙:
We make of gold bright seals and rings, 我们用金子把闪光的戒指印章,
Fine chains, and other pretty things; 精美的项链,还有很多首饰制造;
But spades and
shovels2, rakes and hoes, 可是铲子铁锨,耙子锄头,
Are rough, tough iron. 都是钢铁,竖硬又粗糙。
We make of silver, shining white, 我们用银子做出光亮的摆设,
Bright
ornaments5 to please the sight; 炫目的洁白,眼晴看了真好;
But bolts and bars to guard at night, 可是看家护院的门闩锁,
And swords and guns our
foes6 to fight, 保卫祖国的刀剑枪炮,
Are rough, tough iron. 都是钢铁,坚硬又粗糙
Then let me try to judge aright: 那就让我来做个判断:
Oft useful things don’t please the sight, 有用之物经常不十分好看,
Things good for use oft are not fair, 经常把“美丽”缺少;
I’ll prize the things that useful are, 我所钟爱的有用之物,
Like rough, tough iron. 就像钢铁,坚硬又粗糙
