They send ferocious roots beneath the ground.

They grow up and they grow down and grab the earth between their hairy toes and bite the sky with violent teeth and never quit their anger.

This is how they keep.
这就是它们坚持的方式。
Let one forget his reason for being, they'd all droop like tulips in a glass,

Keep, keep, keep, trees say when I sleep.
坚持，坚持，坚持。树儿在我睡着的时候说。
They teach.

When I am too sad and too skinny to keep keeping, when I am a tiny thing against so many bricks, then it is I look at trees.
当我太悲伤太瘦弱无法坚持再坚持的时候，当我如此渺小却要对抗这么多砖块的时候，我就会看着树。
