In the morning I cast my net into the sea.
早晨我把网撒在海里。
I dragged up from the dark abyss things of strange aspect and strange beauty——some shone like a smile， some glistened like tears， and some were flushed like the cheeks of a bride.
我从沉黑的深渊拉出奇形奇美的东西——有些微笑般地发亮，有些眼泪般地闪光，有的晕红得像新娘的双颊。
When with the day's burden I went home， my love was sitting in the garden idly tearing the leaves of a flower.
当我携带着这一天的担负回到家里的时候，我爱正坐在园里悠闲地扯着花叶。
I hesitated for a moment， and then placed at her feet all that I had dragged up， and stood silent.
我沉吟了一会，就把我捞得的一切放在她的脚前，沉默地站着。
She glanced at them and said， "What strange things are these？ I know not of what use they are！"
她瞥了一眼说："这是些什么怪东西？我不知道这些东西有什么用处！"
I bowed my head in shame and thought， "I have not fought for these， I did not buy them in the market； they are not fit gifts for her."
我羞愧得低了头，心想："我并没有为这些东西去奋斗，也不是从市场里买来的；
这不是一些配送给她的礼物。"
Then the whole night through I flung them one by one into the street.
整夜的工夫我把这些东西一件一件地丢到街上。
In the morning travellers came； they picked them up and carried them into far countries.
早晨行路的人来了；他们把这些拾起带到远方去了。
