雨天一早出门，只见两道巨大的彩虹横越天空，让我想起英国十九世纪女诗人Christina Rossetti的那首”The Rainbow”:

Boats sail on the rivers,

  And ships sail on the seas;

But clouds that sail across the sky

  Are prettier far than these.

There are bridges on the rivers,

  As pretty as you please;

But the bow that bridges heaven,

  And overtops the trees,

And builds a road from earth to sky,

  Is prettier far than these.

因为是儿童诗，她的文字通俗易懂，但我还是把它翻成中文吧：

小舟漂荡于河流

大船航行在海上

但那天上行驶的云彩

比它们更加漂亮

一座座桥横跨河上

说多漂亮就多漂亮

但那链接苍穹的拱桥

跨越于森林上方

在天地间建造一条路

比它们更加漂亮
