Midday. A corner of the deserted beach.

正午。荒凉海滩的一角。

The huge, deep, open sun on high

太阳高悬，巨大、深沉、袒露，

Has chased all the gods from the sky.

驱逐了所有的神明的天空。

The harsh light falls like a punishment.

灼目的光如同一个审判降落。

There are no ghosts and no souls,

没有鬼魂也没有灵魂，

And the vast, ancient, solitary sea

那片辽阔、古老而孤独的大海

Loudly claps its hands.

鼓起轰鸣的掌声。
