That day, for no particular reason,
I decided to go for a little run.
So I ran to the end of the road,
and when I got there,
I thought maybe I'd run to the end of town.
And when I got there,
I thought maybe I'd just run across Greenbow County.
Now, I figured since I'd run this far,
maybe I'd just run across the great state of Alabama.
And that's what I did. I ran clear across Alabama.
No particular reason. I just kept on going.
I ran clear to the ocean. And when I got there,
I figured since I'd gone this far,
might as well turn around, just keep on going.
And when I got to another ocean,
I figured since I'd gone this far...
I might as well just turn back and keep right on going.
When I got tired, I slept. When I got hungry, I ate.
When I had to go... you know... I went.
那一天,不知什么原因,我决定出去跑一趟,所以我跑到路的尽头。当我到达那里,我想也许我能跑到城边;而当我到达那里,我想也许我能跑遍绿茵县;这时我想既然我跑了那么远,也许我可以跑遍亚拉巴马州。我就这么做了。我横越整个亚拉巴马,不知什么原因,我继续跑,我一直跑到大海;当我到达那里,我想既然我跑了那么远,也许不如掉头继续跑,然后当我跑到另一个大海;我想既然我跑了那么远,我也许不如掉头,继续跑下去。当我累了,我就睡觉;当我饿了,我就吃饭;当我想去…你知道…我就去。
